Solutions Not Punishment Collaborative (SnapCo) is a Black trans and queer-led organization based in East Point, GA, dedicated to reimagining public safety and community wellbeing. Operating across the Atlanta metro area, SnapCo specializes in building alternatives to traditional policing and punishment-based systems. The organization focuses on creating safer, more inclusive communities through innovative approaches that center the needs and leadership of Black LGBTQ individuals. SnapCo's core work includes developing community safety strategies, fostering embodied leadership within marginalized populations, and mobilizing political power for systemic change. The organization actively engages the community through educational initiatives, support services, and community events designed to affirm the dignity and freedom of all people. SnapCo provides practical resources and programming, including free passport clinics that help trans and nonbinary Georgians access essential documentation and freedom of movement. By investing in collective leadership and centering the voices of those most impacted by punitive systems, SnapCo works to transform the Atlanta metro region into a space where Black LGBTQ individuals can thrive authentically. The organization's approach challenges conventional solutions and builds toward a vision of genuine community safety rooted in mutual care, respect, and radical inclusion.
