As a lifelong fan of Star Trek, I am deeply saddened and disappointed by the recent actions and statements made by actor Robert Beltran. It is with great concern that I start this petition to call for his removal from all official Star Trek projects and conventions.

Star Trek has always been a beacon of inclusivity, promoting diversity, equality, and acceptance. It has inspired generations of fans to embrace these values in their own lives. However, Mr. Beltran's recent deliberately anti-strike and anti-LGBTQ stance goes against everything that Star Trek stands for.

Firstly, it is important to address Mr. Beltran's anti-strike position. In a time when workers' rights are being threatened globally, it is disheartening to see someone associated with such an iconic franchise actively speaking out against the rights of workers to organize and advocate for fair treatment. This stance undermines the principles of justice that Star Trek upholds.

Furthermore, Mr. Beltran's anti-LGBTQ stance is deeply troubling. LGBTQ individuals have long faced discrimination and marginalization in society, often struggling for acceptance and equal rights. For an actor who has been part of a series celebrated for its progressive portrayal of diverse characters to take such a regressive position is not only disappointing but also harmful.

While it is essential to respect differing opinions within our society, we must also hold individuals accountable when their actions contradict the values they are associated with professionally or personally.

By signing this petition, we urge those responsible for casting decisions in official Star Trek projects as well as organizers of conventions related to the franchise to reconsider their association with Robert Beltran due to his recent deliberately anti-strike and anti-LGBTQ stance.

Star Trek should continue being an inclusive platform that promotes social progressiveness rather than aligning itself with divisive views that undermine its core principles.

Together, let us stand up for the values of inclusion and equality that Star Trek represents. Join me in calling for the removal of Robert Beltran from all official Star Trek projects and conventions.

Note: This petition is personal to me because Star Trek has always been a source of inspiration, teaching me the importance of embracing diversity and fighting for justice. It is disheartening to see someone associated with this beloved franchise taking positions that contradict these fundamental principles.
