Hi First name / there,

 

This long weekend marks a year since New Zealand’s convoy to Parliament commenced, demanding an end to the government mandates.

 

Despite the pouring rain, Kiwis came out in their thousands, to line over-bridges, motorways and streets across our nation. From Bluff to Cape Reinga and everywhere in between, they came to stand, to wave and to cheer on, the endless lines of vehicles journeying to Wellington.

 

VFF teams paused their lives to focus wholeheartedly on feeding, watering, sheltering, and supporting tired and hungry travellers. 

 

New Zealanders from all walks of life came together in ways many had never experienced. 

 

We connected over a common cause: to stand up to tyranny, to say NO to medical segregation and extreme government overreach. 
 

Those in the convoy drove and they slept in cars and in fields and they went without life’s comforts to stand up for their values, principles, and beliefs. 

 

The freedom community swung into action, including thousands of VFF members waving distinctive flags and signs, illustrating a powerful and iconic record of the event in countless photographs and videos that flooded social media platforms.

 

The turn out to support the convoy was epic. People of all ages, from all ethnicities and from all walks of life stood in solidarity stood up. They had had enough. 

 

They came to call out the breaches of our basic fundamental human rights, to stand against the mandates, to speak out peacefully loud and clear for a free New Zealand. They came because they believed the Kiwi spirit was worth fighting for and that there was no place for a two-tiered society on these shores. 

 

 

…We will reflect more on the events that followed the convoy, the occupation of Parliament grounds, and the violent eviction of protesters.

 

Meanwhile, our team has created something special to acknowledge the impact that state-sanctioned mandates and the resulting medical apartheid had on so many New Zealanders. 

 

 

… commemorates the protest and the end of the Traffic Light System by shining a spotlight on our community members' heart-wrenching words and stories and featuring incredible photography from Jess and Paul at Liberty Bites.

 

The exhibition is an emotional acknowledgment for those who experienced becoming outcasts in our own country and a reminder that we must never forget or allow such a thing to happen again. 

 

For those swept along with the government narrative and media hype, it is a crucial insight into the often invisible pain and suffering of their ‘lesser’ friends, family, workmates, and fellow New Zealanders. Those considered second class citizens in Jacinda’s system.

 

Our Christchurch groups have been the first to experience our prototype exhibition boards with people who stopped to read the public displays being moved, shocked and often tearful.

 

Over the next couple of weeks, we will print more sets of An Exhibition to Remember for delivery to groups in our main centres around the country. 

 

If you believe there is value in touching the hearts of Kiwis, and you’d like to help us get this influential experience in front of the eyes of as many people as possible, you can help make that happen by making a contribution to the project. Every little bit helps, and we couldn’t do any of this without your support. 

 

This weekend saw a significant outage of Eftpos technology in NZ and overseas. This highlighted the dangers of relying solely on electronic payment technology and the need to keep using cash which we've been advocating for in our Cash Is Cool campaign.

 

 

Media obsessions with mis- and disinformation continues while the UK signals the end of their Covid-19 vaccination programme, the legal case against Dr. Peter McCullough is dropped, Pfizer employees get caught skiting about tinkering with viruses for economic gain, and a Thai princess remains in a coma following her third shot of the juice, sparking much controversy and yet more trouble on the horizon for Pfizer. 

 

The replays of our webinars on the Therapeutic Products Bill are now available, and the info page on our site is ready for sharing and use in putting forward your objection to the Bill.

 

Meanwhile, our VFF team is busier than the Pfizer PR department in damage control: we're working on our exciting secret project, so watch this space we'll have more details soon!

 

Finally a reminder that the first Lounge Edition session of 2023 is scheduled for Tuesday, and we’d love to see you there! 

 

P.S.  Skipped to the bottom of this email? No worries! I just shared info about our “Exhibition To Remember” and our first Lounge Edition for 2023 this Tuesday Thank you for being here. We're only able to do what we do because of you.
