IDIC is Pro-Immigrant with Jeri Ryan & Jonathan Del Arco

This 1-hour event and Q&A will feature Jeri Ryan, Jonathan Del Arco, and 2024 Roddenberry Fellow and immigrants’ rights expert Lisa Maria Rhodes, founder of .alas. Moderated by Sabrina Cartan with special opening remarks from Eugene Roddenberry. 🖖

Trekkies will learn more about what Roddenberry grantees are doing to support IDIC–Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations–in the real world, and what they can do to help immigrants in their community.

Socialism, Star Trek, and Space with Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

During the TREKtivism panel at STLV (Trek to Las Vegas), Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein raised the point that “Capitalism doesn’t exist in the Federation. And we can’t volunteer and fundraise ourself out of capitalism . We need to start thinking about system reform.” In this episode, we continue that conversation with Dr. Prescod-Weinstein ( our first ever repeat guest!) to talk about reforming our economic system, Star Trek’s depiction of an anti-capitalist future, and how the current for-profit space race is not the boldly going we asked for.

Join The Roddenberry Foundation and Roddenberry Entertainment for a special livestream discussion with Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine) and Jonathan Del Arco (Hugh the Borg) to discuss what Star Trek teaches us about immigrants and belonging.

Jonathan Del Arco will share how his experience as a child immigrant from Uruguay and role in Star Trek inspired his new children's book, Freddy the Alien, co-written with WGA screenwriter and former teacher Trisha DiFazio.

Moderated by Roddenberry Ambassador Sabrina Cartan with an intro by Rod Roddenberry, this event will also include a conversation with Roddenberry grantees who are fighting for immigrants' rights at a time when anti-immigrant sentiments and ICE raids are tearing families apart. Fans will learn more about what's happening on the ground and how to help their immigrant neighbors during times of crisis.
