Let's break the rules

We're trying something different.

Here's a new Texas Observer approach: If we can get 21 new members to join before our Spring membership drive kicks off on May 3, we won't send you any fundraising emails until fall.  This breaks a lot of fundraising rules, but we think you could use a break from what will be the Spring member drive email flood. Will you be one of the 21 new members that put us over the top?   JOIN NOW We are only able to do this thanks to generous matching funds from two of our longtime supporters. If you join as a monthly sustaining member, your membership will be matched 12x (once per month over the next year)! We are genuinely humbled by the support of our members. More than 1600 of you now support the Observer on a monthly basis. This kind of generosity blows us away, so we want to give you the opportunity to join us today—and throw in a little bonus incentive: Become a Texas Observer member before 11:59 pm on Sunday, May 2, 2021, we promise we won't send you any fundraising emails until the fall. "Whatever you do, don't give up. Because all you can do once you've given up is bitch." - Molly Ivins Well—I'm not giving up, and I bet you aren't either. I know Texas Observer readers care deeply about the humanity and dignity of every Texan. Needless to say, the Observer staff still has our work cut out for us in the fight against misinformation. And we're counting on you to help us keep reporting on the incredible challenges Texans face at home.
