Dear Friend,
It’s Jeff Rotkoff with The Barbed Wire writing to check in.
Last week I reached out to some of the readers who have been with us since the beginning and asked that you consider supporting our work as a member of The Barbed Wire.
Unlike a lot of legacy news outlets, we don’t have a paywall at The Barbed Wire. Our journalism is always free to read; but it’s not free to produce. Our team needs your support, and I hope you’ll consider pitching in today. We’re really lucky to have such an incredible community of readers who support independent progressive journalism for Texas, and I hope you’ll consider taking the next step in supporting our work.
In case you missed it, last week I told you about an exclusive invitation. If you activate your membership today, I’d love to show you my appreciation with some hot pizza, and cold beer at an exclusive members-only event with our editor in chief, Olivia Messer, and me and at Bambino in Austin on Thursday, April 24.
Olivia and I will be joined by a special guest, Kat Vargas – also known to her tens of thousands of social media followers as howdypolitics – for a conversation about media and politics, and I’d love to see you there.
As always, this is my personal email address, and feel free to reach out any time. I hope to see you in person next week.
Jeff
