- Reposted by The Roddenberry Foundation 🖖I’m not a Trekkie but I’ve done enough basic research into the Star Trek fandom to know women basically invented it, and are why the show even continued to exist. This kind of writing is part of institutional sexism that denies women’s accomplishments and role in history and it infuriates me
- If humanity ever hopes to reach its full potential, we must set aside prejudice, hatred, and fear of the unfamiliar. With an eye towards the stars, we’ll never stop learning and exploring for the sake of all humankind.

- Reposted by The Roddenberry Foundation 🖖The Star Trek franchise is actually sort of ambivalent about the extent to which Starfleet is a military organization but one thing it’s clear about is that while Starfleet has military elements, its primary job is curiosity, exploration, and to function as Federstion ambassadors to the galaxy

- Reposted by The Roddenberry Foundation 🖖Dictatorships grab people off the street and jail them. Dictatorships demonize vulnerable minorities. Dictatorships destroy data. Dictatorships reject independent courts. Dictatorships buy the backing of the super-rich. Dictatorships persecute dissidents. See what’s happening, fellow Americans.

- Reposted by The Roddenberry Foundation 🖖Star Trek has always been political. Roddenberry designed ST to use allegory to tell stories that might not otherwise be allowed on network TV. From the beginning, he strove to show a bolder, better, more inclusive future, which I believe is at the core of its enduring appeal.
