"Our hope is that the TIME100 list is not simply a recognition of influence but a study in how influence can be wielded... If crisis is going to unite us, we must find within ourselves that same empathy. The spectrum of leaders on this list, wielding influence in so many ways, is a reminder that we all have the option to use our power for good," writes TIME Editor-in-Chief and CEO Edward Felsenthal of this year's TIME100 list. https://bit.ly/3NuhmkF
