1. LINDA SARSOUR'S Adidas Ultra Boost shoes "I have the same sneakers as my fellow organizers Carmen Perez and Tamika Mallory," says the co-chair of the Women's March. "We bought them together in 2015. They cost $180, but we needed sneakers that would help us endure the March2Justice, a 250-mile march from New York City to Washington, D.C., to protest police brutality and racism in the criminal-justice system. It was a test for us: Are we ready? Do we have what it takes? I think that experience kept me connected to Carmen and Tamika. It created a sisterhood, and it allowed so many other women, like [fellow co-chair] Bob Bland, to get involved." 2. RIZ AHMED'S Voice-recorder app "I interview lots of people when I'm preparing for a role," says…

Our annual list of the 100 most Influential People explores the intersection of accomplishment and renown. As in years past, this year's list includes Presidents and Prime Ministers, CEOs and celebrities--but they are joined by others of less fame but great force, in the power of their inventions, the scale of their ambitions, the genius of their solutions to problems that no one before them could solve. Some years the list has the feel of a loose, lively dinner party, people who mostly don't know one another but would get along if they did. This year is a bit more complicated. These past 12 months have sharpened our edges as political debates in the U.S. and Europe, the Middle East and Asia, turned jagged and primal and seem almost perfectly…

1. BARRY JENKINS' Hand coffee grinder "I drink coffee when I'm writing, and a lot of times I'm writing away from home," says the writer and director of Moonlight. "The one constant is that every morning I grind up my coffee. The sound it makes is very therapeutic. To me it sounds like raking sand. It gets me into the mind-set: O.K., I'm going to grind the beans, I'm going to pour the water and then I'm going to sit down and start writing." 2. GAVIN GRIMM'S Pokémon cards "During my childhood, I played male Pokémon characters because I didn't have space to be a boy. It allowed me to be one of the guys," says the transgender-rights activist. "My struggles with mental health really intensified at 11 or 12.…

1. MARGARET ATWOOD'S Blend of coffee "I always drink coffee when I write," says the author. "I did a blend of coffee with [Canadian coffee retailer] Balzac's called the Atwood Blend. Part of the proceeds of each pound goes to the Pelee Island Bird Observatory, in Lake Erie. Pelee Island is where the migrating birds stop on their annual journey from the U.S. to Canada. My graphic novel Angel Catbird deals with bird conservation and provides information about what you can do to stop the decline. The coffee, the writing and the birds all come together in that way." 2. TOM PEREZ'S Ralph Waldo Emerson poem "My wife of 28 years gave me a copy of 'Success' by Ralph Waldo Emerson, because she knows me pretty well," says the DNC…

1. Viola Davis discusses how having grown up in poverty has affected her life in Hollywood. 2. RuPaul explains why not to take life too seriously. 3. Riz Ahmed reveals the benefits of sticking around even when you feel you don't belong. 4. John Legend talks about the intersection of art and activism. 5. Gavin Grimm describes what it's like to have your private life inspire a public conversation. People Entertainment WEEKLY NETWORK To celebrate the release of the TIME 100, the People/Entertainment Weekly Network is releasing "The It List: The 100 Most Influential People," a special episode featuring interviews with members of the TIME 100, as well as TIME writers and editors who discuss their selections.

1. RUPAUL'S doTerra essential oil "I'm on a lot of different sets around a lot of different people all the time, and I really cannot afford to get sick," says the television personality. "This stuff keeps me from getting ill. I don't know how it works. I don't know what's in it. But I put it on my tongue, and even when I have something or I'm coming down with something, one drop will make it go away quicker." 2. BEN PLATT'S Plaster cast "We create a brand-new cast for every show," says the star of Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway. "It helps the show feel like a new occurrence every night, which is a reminder that we have to create the story from scratch, because this group of people…

Although I helped come up with the idea for the TIME 100 (along with the slightly less popular Get 100 Famous People to Draw Turkey Hands for Thanksgiving), the editors of this magazine have never let me sit in on one single TIME 100 meeting, ever. This is likely due to a deep-seated prejudice against having someone interrupt every debate over a world leader's relative influence with "Let's ask him for a turkey hand!" So I've moved on to a more important task: guessing next year's TIME 100. TIME, after all, can use its global reporting team and well-connected, handsome essayists to find the influencers bubbling toward the top for next year. At first, trying to guess the 2018 TIME 100 was hard, since not only has 2018 not happened,…
