[tor-talk] First Library to Support Anonymous Internet Browsing, > Effort Stops After DHS Email

Hi folks! I'm the person who runs Library Freedom Project who helped set
up the Tor relay at this library (with Nima, Tor Project volunteer).

Your support could keep this relay going! We need people to sign our
petition:
https://act.eff.org/action/support-tor-and-intellectual-freedom-in-libraries

And we need friendly locals to come with us to the board meeting at
Kilton Library, September 15 at 7 pm. Lots of folks are already talking
about showing up, and we want the board and the library director to see
that Tor is loved and needed by his local community!

Thanks everyone!

Alison
