As I mentioned in #38, the original Encryption Works doesn't mention SecureDrop anywhere. I propose including a section about the FPF and including the mention there. The about section is currently tucked away at the bottom of the document and copied and/or rewritten from http://freedom.press/about and http://securedrop.org.

> “A cantankerous press, an obstinate press, a ubiquitous press must be suffered by those in authority in order to preserve the even greater values of freedom of expression and the right of the people to know.” \
—Judge Murray Gurfein, Pentagon Papers case, June 17, 1971

The **Freedom of the Press Foundation** is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to helping support and defend public-interest journalism focused on exposing mismanagement, corruption, and law-breaking in government. We accept tax-deductible donations to a variety of journalism organizations that push for transparency and accountability, and we work to preserve and strengthen the rights guaranteed to the press under the First Amendment. We also maintain [SecureDrop](http://securedrop.org), an open-source whistleblower submission system that media organizations can use to securely accept documents from and communicate with anonymous sources. [Click here](https://freedom.press/securedrop/directory) for a list of current SecureDrop instances.

HR/Comms nit-pick: is it "The Freedom of the Press Foundation" or just "Freedom of the Press Foundation" in text like this @garrettr @conorsch ?

Prefer "Freedom of the Press Foundation" over "The Freedom of the Press Foundation". Spoke with @trevortimm about this in person today.

How about we instead say "Click here to learn more about the project" and link them to securedrop.org?

Agreed but I'm going to hold off changing via commit because I have a hunch all this info is going to make it into Trevor's introduction.

@tommycollison Update on this branch, now that Trevor's introduction has been merged? What do you think should be done with it?
