[tor-project] Tomorrow: EFF/Tor Worldwide Day of Action to stop changes to Rule 41

[Carolin Zöbelein]

Hi,

short remark. This banner is only visible if you are using JavaScript.
Normally I don't use JS, so I was wondering 'About which banner she is
talking about?'
There should be also an hint for people like me, which are not using
JS.
