Generator Collective is a political activism group based in the United States. It was founded in 2016 by actress, stand-up comedian, and screenwriter Ilana Glazer and former WeWork executive Glennis Meagher,[1] with a goal of "lowering the barrier to entry" to discussing politics.[2][3]

Background

Glazer and Meagher founded the campaign platform in 2016. The platform promotes female election candidates and general participation in democracy, voting and political discussion.[4][5][6][2][7][8]

The group has staged events, sometimes called "Genny Social"s, to discuss politics.[9][10]
