Happy Star Trek Day! If we're going to get to that Star Trek future, we need to believe that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the 0.1%

Supporting at today. Star Trek envisions our future in space, but space science advocacy organizations like The Planetary Society will actually get us there.

Like many other fans, your Trektivism hosts are headed to STLV this week! This seemed like a good time to drop our discussion from TrekTalks 4, moderated by John Champion of Roddenberry Podcasts, giving you a primer into Trektivism and what helped your hosts turn the corner from fandom to activism. Join us in person at STLV, 9 A.M. Sunday morning (August 10th) in The Lounge at Vic’s Bar, to share stories of volunteerism, activism, and acts of kindness that lead us towards the future depicted in Star Trek.
