The Generator Series July 2018

THE GENERATOR SERIES HOSTED BY ILANA GLAZER

• Website

• Instagram

Generator is a movement inspiring people who live in the U.S. to humanize policy through storytelling. We achieve this by using social media platforms to share about how policy affects our everyday lives. Founded by Broad City’s Ilana Glazer, Ruby Anaya and Glennis Meagher, we humbly admit: we don’t know shit!

The Generator Series is a limited 4-part event in which Ilana Glazer will interview an activist and a politician to see how they each serve us - the people. And you - yes you - will get the chance to record your own Generator video at the event with the help of fellow Generators. Learn more at generatorcollective.com

Ticket sales will be donated to the non-profit Color of Change, the nation’s largest online racial justice organization.
