Hi Tupolef, 

For decades, Dallas Observer has believed that local journalism should be accessible to everyone. No paywall. Always accessible. Anyone in Dallas can read our reporting online or pick up the paper each week — no subscription required. Today, we’re asking readers who value that access to help sustain it.

This spring, we’re working toward a goal of $10,000 by April 26 to support the reporting that keeps Dallas Observer strong. Reader contributions help fund the time, resources, and newsroom capacity required to cover Dallas thoroughly—from city government and housing to arts, food, and the voices often overlooked by other media.

Dallas Observer plays a unique role in Dallas’ media landscape. Our newsroom brings fresh perspectives to local news while covering stories and communities that might otherwise go unheard. We believe everyone deserves access to reliable, independent reporting about the place they live.

That mission is reflected in our recent coverage of the University of North Texas’ abrupt removal of an art installation inspired by immigration, which helped bring attention to an issue affecting the community. Stories like this take time and persistence — but they’re exactly why Dallas Observer exists.

If Dallas Observer’s reporting matters to you, please consider supporting it today. Start a sustaining gift of $10 per month and help keep Dallas Observer free, accessible, and in print every week.

With gratitude,

Alec Spicer
