Vidaurre’s tireless advocacy for clean air, sustainable environmental policies, and the fight against environmental injustices in marginalized communities has garnered national attention. Her commitment to reducing trucking and rail emissions, particularly in California’s Inland Empire, has been a driving force in shaping progressive environmental policies despite challenges under the new U.S. Administration.

Reflecting on this recognition, Vidaurre shared, “What an honor to represent the work we do in the fight for clean air and environmental justice—especially here in the Inland Empire. We are striving to transition the logistics industry to zero emissions and ensure that communities are not sacrificed for the sake of next-day delivery.”

PC4EJ stands in solidarity with Vidaurre’s call to action, urging California’s leaders to remain steadfast in their commitment to environmental progress. The organization calls on the South Coast Air Quality Management District to clean up the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the California Air Resources Board to uphold key regulations, and state legislators to support critical bills like AB 914. Additionally, PC4EJ urges local officials in the Inland Empire to halt unchecked warehouse development.

“This isn’t just a tech problem. This isn’t solely a mental health or emotional well-being problem. This is a human problem. And what’s happening to all of us online is affecting us deeply offline,” Meghan said in opening the two-hour session that gathered academics, experts in misinformation, advocates for teens and the marginalized, journalists and others.

Since the start of 2020, after the two left the U.K., they’ve been spending quality time with son Archie at their California home and also educating themselves on issues swirling in the digital space. They’ve made new friends among those working to make that space better, both said.

“What our job is, especially throughout these conversations, is to get people to listen to the experts and for them to explain how what’s happening in the online world is affecting the world,” Harry said. “It is not restricted to certain platforms or certain social media conversations. This is a global crisis, a global crisis of hate, a global crisis of misinformation and a global health crisis.”

He called the media’s role vital in informing and changing the world overall but said: “There’s a huge amount of trust that we all put into media and digital platforms that sometimes is undermined.”

Meghan endured a slew of negative headlines in Britain after she married the prince. The two have fought back over alleged phone hacking, the publication of unauthorized photos of their son and the disclosure of a handwritten letter the duchess wrote to her estranged father.

Among those who participated in their Time100 session, “Engineering a Better World,” was Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, investor and husband of tennis great Serena Williams. He recently resigned from the Reddit board and asked to be replaced by a Black candidate.

The tech giant has announced his spot will go to Michael Seibel, who co-founded Justin.tv/Twitch. Ohanian said he was inspired to step down by his 3-year-old daughter, Olympia, who is of mixed race.

“Given that I’m still getting hate mail about it, I knew I made the right choice because sadly, you know, we’re at a place in this country where there is still a lot of work to be done,” he told Meghan. “I knew that I had a responsibility to be able to answer her when she asks me in 10 years, when she’s a snarky teenager, what I did to help be a part of making things better for her.”
