Why should you vote for The Tor Project in epoch 2?

Tools like Tor are going to be absolutely critical for millions of people to access news and information during this year of important elections.

Cool metrics: 2.5 million people are using Tor at any given time / Tor is a powered by a community of thousands of volunteers running relays / Tor is open source and free — for everyone
