This is JUST the first step in saving the Texas Observer. We have enough money to keep our doors open, pay writers and the bills, but we'll need more help to make our publication sustainable. We'll have more information soon (in the meantime, the GoFundMe is still open and growing ... https://www.gofundme.com/f/laid-off-texas-observer-journalists-and-staff) on different ways to help.

In the meantime, come to our party on Friday! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/texas-observer-final-friday-tickets-601759337377
