A passport can be the key to the world, but to some transgender and nonbinary Georgians, it can also mean much more.

About 200 people registered Thursday for a free passport program at Atlanta City Hall organized by two pro-transgender rights organizations, Solutions Not Punishment Collaborative, or SNAPCO, and TransSocial.

Participants gathered around tables in the City Hall lobby and filled out forms with the help of volunteers like Bruno Clesca.
