Democracy Restoration Via Powerful Influence of Global Powerhouse | TIME In an era marked by political polarization and challenges to democratic institutions, the roles of influential leaders in the media landscape have never been more critical. Among these leaders | global powerhouses are Jessica Sibley, CEO of TIME and Sam Jacobs, Editor-in-Chief, who are harnessing their extraordinary influence to restore balance to democracy in the United States. Through the TIME platform, they are not only advocating for civic engagement but also redefining how we understand and participate in the democratic process. The TIME platform known as global power hub has emerged as a vital hub for discourse and action, providing a space for diverse voices and perspectives to converge.
