BREAKING: Protest on South Shore to end racism
The following statement is a joint statement from the 2020-2021 Student Government
Dear CSI Students,
I am heartbroken by the events unfolding this past week. The senseless killing of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and many others nationwide, emphasizes the significant and unacceptable racial injustice that still exists. This country has consistently marginalized groups and minorities since its creation. Acknowledging the violence in racism is just the first step to creating a fair and just society. We must ensure comprehensive reforms and systemic change in the justice system. We must also uproot the systemic problems caused by militarized police forces to create long-lasting change.
We, the CSI Student Government, condemn the reprehensible police brutality, bigotry, and wanton murder going on in this country. We stand together and united in condemning any and all acts of white supremacy, police brutality, and the overall oppression of marginalized communities. We welcome and advocate for students from every race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, and national origin.
Our student body has shown such high resilience during this challenging time. Even so, they consistently face tremendous challenges and hardships. Our students have struggled with homelessness, food insecurity, job loss, and many other adversities during the pandemic. The CSI Student Government has, and always will, stand by our fellow students. We will continue to advocate for them to receive the resources necessary to navigate the inequalities of our society.
I realize it is difficult to have the in-person support for mental and emotional trauma due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even so, I encourage anyone who needs additional support during this time to utilize our confidential counseling services.
Students may contact the CSI Counseling Center 24/7 for additional support via www.csi.cuny.edu/students/counseling-center.
Sincerely,
Maxwell Velikodny
Student Government President

The following is a message From President William Fritz regarding the death of George Floyd and the subsequent protests.
May 31st, 2020
Dear Members of the College Community,
I write to you today in sadness to address an occurrence that has been played out far too many times across the years – a reprehensible act of police brutality that led to the death of an African-American man – George Floyd. On behalf of the CSI community, I extend our heartfelt sympathies to Mr. Floyd’s family, friends, and loved ones.
A despicable act like this destroys confidence in the justice system. I hope the arrest of the officer begins a process of systemic change and comprehensive reforms so all people may have confidence in those who are charged to protect and serve.
The College of Staten Island has always welcomed students and scholars and all members of our community from every race, religion, sexual orientation, or national origin to pursue their educational interests. We believe an educational institution should be a place where one can engage in difficult conversations through respectful discourse with the understanding that we are creating leaders who will make the world a fairer and better place for all.
I know that many members of our community are heartbroken over this event and the continued racism and discrimination that plagues our society. It is also challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic to get the in-person support from friends and family that can be a powerful source of comfort. I encourage anyone who needs additional support during this time to utilize our confidential counseling services.

I join Chancellor’s Matos Rodriguez’s call for us to “redouble our commitment to finding ways forward” and I look ahead to the fall when we will work collectively to be that engine of change.
Sincerely,
William J. Fritz

It has been a long week, we understand this. We at WSIA are here to serve the public. So here are some links of ways to donate and help out people in Minneapolis.
-If you wish to help the family of George Floyd, you can donate to the “Official George Floyd Memorial fund” A GoFundMe campaign organized by Floyd’s brother, Philonise Floyd, for Floyd’s children’s care and education, as well as family counseling, lodging and travel for court proceedings, and burial expenses. It has raised $1.7 million, with average donations of $22. https://www.gofundme.com/f/georgefloyd
-Black Visions Collective. “A political home for black people across Minnesota,” this Minnesota nonprofit is dedicated to safe, autonomous black communities. https://secure.everyaction.com/4omQDAR0oUiUagTu0EG-Ig2
-Minnesota Freedom Fund. This fund pays bail for protesters, as well as those imprisoned for immigration and criminal offenses. The group sees pretrial bail requirements to be unjust, wealth-based discrimination. https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/donate
Northstar Health Collective. Medics for protesters. The group of nurses, doctors, and healthcare providers was originally founded to maintain community safety during the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul. https://www.northstarhealthcollective.org/donate
The Legal Rights Center. Provides criminal defense and legal services for low-income people of color in and around Minneapolis, including arrested protesters. https://www.legalrightscenter.org/donate.html

Hello everyone, my name is Nick, but you can call me DJ [email protected]. I guess that name will do, for now. So where do I begin? I joined this wacky phenomenal group of personalities just at the beginning of the fall semester 2019. Ooh 2019, how I miss you so. Safe and nurturing and pandemic free. The coronavirus pandemic has created many hardships for everyone. Not being able to see your loved ones or friends. Not being able to provide CSI and the rest of Staten Island with their favorite tunes of yesterday, today and the future. Unable to take part in activities that we are used to partaking in. Is this our new reality “social distancing”? Has a face mask become the new pants? You be silly to go out the house without ‘em on.
In a time of panic there is no time to panic. Try to figure that one out, LOL. This is the time for everyone to be more responsible for one another and try to be sensitive to others' circumstances. Take this time to do things that you have been putting off so long. Maybe learn a new instrument, read that novel you have been meaning to read or write that novel you've been meaning to write. You could even work on advancing your screenwriting skills. Or maybe get to organizing that music collection, like I have been doing on my downtime. I have been putting all my CDs in alphabetical order from ABBA and Ace of Base to Led Zeppelin and the Silver Sun Pickups. My taste in music is broad. Different genres for different moods. Some Bill Withers for when it is a lovely day or some Foo Fighters when you feel like this pandemic is getting the best of you.
Just going outside to run any errands has been so nerve racking these few months. Everyone outside seems so discombobulated, they all look so scared. One day I am walking down the street avoiding any contact like Jack Nicholson from “As Good as It Gets”. Two nights pass by and now I am beginning to lose it like Jack Nicholson in “The Shining”. Catch my drift, LOL. Anywho, take this time to think about the future and what each of us can contribute. Hopefully soon I can be back in that chair at WSIA providing Staten Islanders with their favorite tracks. Be well and until we meet again have many wonderful [email protected]!
