Dear Reader,
 
Our weekly newsletter has been addressing our shelter-in-place current status and with that I just want to chime in with most of our like-minded readers; we stand in solidarity with the present justified civil unrest. No one is proud of our country now, especially the machinations of our government along with police brutality weighing heavily on the black population.
 
Artillery has always taken into account the current climate of our world; mainly following the lead of artists dealing with repression and oppression. We want you to know that we’re paying attention and will be addressing the greater conversations on racial justice in our upcoming September issue’s theme on Democracy.
—Tulsa Kinney, Editor, previously published June 4 in our weekly newsletter.
