    WE DID IT! The Texas Observer will remain open! Our board voted to rescind both layoffs and the closure. We'll have more news soon, but we believe this is the start of a very positive transformation—and you were made it possible! #TexasNeedsAnObserver!

    We are asking the board to allow the staff try to save this historic magazine, as well as our livelihoods, and to give us a chance to secure other sources of funding.
