General: Mention SecureDrop #38

Encryption Works 1.0 doesn't mention SecureDrop once -- I agree with Runa's suggestion that we should, but instead of a section, I just included a mention in the "about" section currently tucked in at the bottom (although maybe should be a prelude of sorts?)

In any case, this is the wording I've been toying with:

About Freedom of the Press Foundation

“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 manage SecureDrop, an open-source whistleblower submission system that media organizations can use to securely accept documents from and communicate with anonymous sources. It was originally created by the late Aaron Swartz. Click here to see a full list of news organizations which have implemented SecureDrop.

@tommycollison I think this is a good start. However, it seems to me that we might also want to mention SecureDrop in the document itself, and not just as a note in the footer. Do you think that would be a worthwhile addition?

@garrettr Agreed, but I'm not sure straight away where that place would be. Trevor's introduction, maybe.
