Kk, who uses all pronouns, has worked closely with Newburgh’s LGBTQ Center and the Cornwall school district to support gay and trans people. She is also on Beacon’s Human Rights Commission and helped found a consulting group called Collective Justice that works with mutual aid pods and other community nonprofits.

“Wherever you start is a good place to start,” Kk says in this surprisingly hilarious interview.
