Uncoffined

Five years ago, none of us could have imagined where this journey would lead. What began as a single public meeting in Auckland Central on 12 December 2020 has grown into something far bigger, stronger, and more enduring than we ever dared to hope.

Today, that shared effort looks like this:

Over 140,000 Kiwis subscribed to VFF and RCR mailing lists
120+ local groups across New Zealand
130+ local coordinators
15 Regional Coordinators
22 Rebuild Free Radio Network coordinators
Millions of monthly views of RCR content and clips
Hundreds of thousands of accounts reached

Numbers can’t measure everything, but taken together, they represent something priceless.

In the middle of this email, you’ll hear directly from both of us. But first, thank you for being here. Whether you joined us in 2020 or last week, you are part of this story.

An Incredible Journey

When we kicked off VFF at that first public meeting, we knew some things were on the globalist wish list, like Digital ID and greater surveillance. What we couldn’t fully fathom was just how sleepily much of the New Zealand public would allow these initiatives to creep in, one “reasonable” step at a time.

What we also didn’t anticipate was the depth of connection that would form between everyday Kiwis who refused to go along quietly.

We’ve been on an incredible journey together. We’ve formed bonds across the country, rooted in shared standards, clear direction, and a deep courage and care for one another that genuinely baffle the Establishment.

We’ve gone from being labelled public enemies, surveilled and smeared by the state and its institutions, to being invited into Parliament and Covid Inquiry proceedings. From being dismissed as fringe by the mainstream media to launching our own media operation influencing politics and society.

And those ripples really do matter, especially when we’re all out there with pockets full of pebbles!

Together, we have helped shift the Overton Window on issues once considered untouchable:

The harms of the Covid response and the need for accountability
Climate change narratives and Managed Retreat
The dangers of gender ideology
Blind trust in the medical system and mainstream paradigms
The rise of technocracy in our lives and the threat to privacy and sovereignty
New Zealand’s gene tech future
The mass migration agenda and erosion of Kiwi culture

None of this happened by accident. It happened because you stayed engaged, asked hard questions, and refused to look away.

From My Heart (Alia)

On a personal level, the greatest privilege of the past five years has been meeting you.

There is an immediate heart-connection I feel when I meet people whose lives were changed simply by knowing they were not alone during the nightmare of 2021 and 2022. People who held onto the VFF lifeline through community, information, and shared resources, and who found a family as a result.

Knowing that VFF helped people hold on during those times gives me a quiet, unshakeable certainty that what we do matters. And by “hold on”, I also mean to life itself. The number of people who have told us that without VFF, they would not be here today is a reality that hits you hard in the gut.

Measured against that, the insults and scorn from critics slide off like Teflon.

Yes, what we do is stressful and time-consuming. But it is also deeply meaningful. It gives purpose and direction. It has forced me to confront fears I had spent years working around, a fear of public speaking for one.

I had learned how to manage those fears quietly and stay just far enough inside my comfort zone to function well. VFF didn’t give me that option. The circumstances demanded that I step forward anyway, to speak when my voice shook, to lead before I felt ready, and to trust that courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision that something else matters more.

In doing so, I have found my calling. I have found my crew. And I have found meaning in service to something far bigger than myself. Thank you for believing in me.

Message from Claire

When we started VFF, I don’t think any of us truly understood what standing would cost or how necessary it would become.

Over the past five years, we’ve watched Kiwis endure things no free society should ever normalise: public shaming, intimidation, loss of work and the creation of second-class citizens through coercive mandates.

We’ve received tens of thousands of your messages describing the fracturing of families, how your trust in institutions has been broken and describing your sadness and frustration that more are not yet awake to what is happening, especially that those closest to you cannot, or will not, see.

And on top of this, we have all had to put up with our former Single Source of Truth & Friends gaslighting us around the world.

But that is not the whole story.

Out of that pressure, something else formed. People found each other. Communities grew where isolation had been intended. Local groups stepped in where institutions failed. Legal challenges were mounted. Conversations that were once shut down began happening openly. Ordinary people learned how to stand their ground, thousands of pop-up signs and billboards and over 8 million flyers printed and hand-delivered across New Zealand. That collective resolve is why VFF still exists, and why it has been able to endure.

There have been – and still are – moments when the pressure is immense, when we are smeared, censored, and portrayed as something we are not. But we have never and will never step back from what needs to be said.

When we began this work, my son was nine years old. He’s now 14. What keeps me standing is knowing what’s at stake for him and his friends and future generations. What makes it all possible is your courage and support.

As VFF turns five, we have achieved so much, but it feels like this has all been a warm-up, like we’re only just getting started. Thankfully, we are stronger than we were. More connected. More experienced. More ready.

What We’ve Built, Together

VFF is unique in the world.

Born out of the toughest of times, we created a nationwide network with shared values, standards, and purpose. When the media ignored, silenced, and slandered, we refused to beg for a seat at their table, preferring instead to build our own.

Together, VFF and RCR allow us to push back effectively against tyranny, on multiple fronts. VFF with boots on the ground, swift action when needed, and collective strength, while simultaneously building personal, family, and community resilience and strengthening alternative systems. RCR providing a media arm to influence and inform the public, pressure politicians and hold bureaucrats accountable.

This is something we should all be immensely proud of.

We did this together. And we are quietly the envy of many around the world, where such organised, values-led networks simply do not exist.

As VFF turns five, and as we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, one thing is clear: with your continued support, VFF, and now RCR too, are better placed than ever to meet the challenges ahead.

Thank you for standing with us.
