The late founder of the group, Barbara Schlachter, was one of the first female Episcopal priests and co-founded Iowa City Climate Advocates (ICCA), the Iowa branch of Citizens Climate Lobby.
Schlachter founded the organization in 2012 with her friend and fellow activist Ann Christenson.
Before founding 100Grannies, Schlachter took part in a 2011 White House protest which aimed to prevent the creation of a 1,600-mile pipeline that would carry oil from Alberta to the Gulf of Mexico. Police arrested Schlachter during the protest, alongside 1,200 other activists including Christenson. 0){
