For LGBTQ+ people, community is essential. With community at the forefront of its mission, UC Santa Barbara’s Associated Students Trans & Queer Commission believes that education, representation, and community work can combat oppression and lead to the safety and comfort of all people. The Trans & Queer Commission is now accepting applications for their 2021-2022 executive board. KCSB’s Daniel Huecias sits down with TQC Chair Anusika Halder & TQC Vice Co-Chair Julia Bielenberg to discuss the significance of the Commission on campus and the many ways to get involved.
