#BlackLivesMatter

Our Chilltown family,

We hope you’re well.
Please know that all of the current and ongoing injustice in our society's system has been in our attention, especially over the past couple of days. Our hearts are heavy during this time. As much as we long for peace, we share the anger and hurt of our black brothers and sisters who have been and continue to be oppressed for no reason whatsoever. We stand with you. Today, tomorrow, every day.
To our loved ones that are protesting in the midst of this all -- please remember to stay safe.
