Write Now was a 1981 letter campaign organized by John Trimble and Bjo Trimble.

The Trimbles utilized Star Trek fans and their Star Trek connections to rally for the United States space program. For more context, see Star Trek Fandom and NASA.

From a flyer in Slaysu #2:

Star Trek fans are being asked to SPEAK OUT again!

Help save the space program from budget cuts which will kill it forever!

The main "push" for the write-in campaign is March 1, 1981 to flood the White House with space advocacy mail! Is it worth your time to WRITE NOW to save space so we can eventually go out there (in a new Enterprise) pushing back those final frontiers? WRITE NOW! P.O. Box 36851, Los Angeles, CA 90036

for a booklet on space benefits, why we should support space and addresses.
