With the final day of voting less than a week away and emotions running high **it’s important to put what’s about to happen into clear perspective**.

Irrespective of the result of who gets in and who doesn’t, the fact remains that **no one is coming to save us.**

**No one, aside from the person staring back at your from the mirror.**

Here at VFF **we have spent the past three years helping you to connect, to inform, to inspire others**, and to be empowered to be the change you want to see in the world (as cliché as that sounds).

We’ve **encouraged you to stand up and exercise your right to speak freely.**

**To push back against people in power behaving like tyrants.**

**To challenge unjust laws.**

**To publicly raise your concerns** and back them up with evidence so that others may be educated on the issues that affect us all.

**To gain positions of influence at the local level** and engage with the system where we can make a difference right now.

**To set up alternative systems** that result in individuals, families, and communities becoming better prepared, more self-reliant and resilient, no matter what comes our way.

And, most of all, we’ve encouraged you **to believe in yourself** and one another **to know you can stand strong**, in the face of adversity.

#### Radical Responsibility.

**There are no shortcuts** out of the current mess we all find ourselves embroiled in.

However, **there is something liberating about taking radical responsibility for one’s own life** and the lives of those we love. Radical responsibility is what we have encouraged you to strive for from the outset.

**How can we continue to do this?**

- **Connect, organise, plan, roll up our sleeves and get to work**.
- **Educate ourselves** on things that count and make informed decisions.
- **Seek truth and evidence** in the face of lies and manipulation.
- **Listen to multiple perspectives** and prioritise time to consider our positions.
- Take the opportunity to **help other Kiwis understand what is going on and what is at stake.**

#### Gratitude.

In these past three years, **we have felt gratitude like never before.**

**We have hugged.**

**We have cried.**

**We have laughed together.**

**Our lives have been changed and enriched through VFF’s networks** of incredible people and **thousands upon thousands of you have told us you feel the same.**

#### Politics.

**We have a system that is largely broken.**

**A system where those in power have become influenced and corrupted** by unelected, globalist organisations and industries with stated agendas and financial incentives.

**A system that ping-pongs between varying shades of globalism** under **a triennial illusion of choice.**

**We must be realistic about what can be achieved in politics** at this point in time beyond yet another ceremonial switching of the political t-shirt.

**For real, transformative change to occur, we need something completely different.**

**What we need is radical cultural change:** Trying to achieve **radical political change** without first achieving sufficient cultural change is like trying to cook an amazing meal with only 10% of the required ingredients.

**Together with you, we are achieving radical cultural change** through [**advocacy**](https://www.voicesforfreedom.co.nz/therapeutic-products-bill/?ref=goodoil.news), [**media**](https://realitycheck.radio/?ref=goodoil.news), [**educational campaigns**](https://www.voicesforfreedom.co.nz/cash-is-cool/?ref=goodoil.news), [**community building**](https://odysee.com/@voicesforfreedom:6/VFF-Auckland-South-2022:5?ref=goodoil.news) and everything else that we do at VFF.

And come Sunday, **no matter who “wins” the election, we will still be here**, **supporting you**, our members and communities, with connection and resources, mucking in, doing the work that needs to be done.

**We remain steady and resolute,** fighting for our children’s futures and the country we love.

**STAND UP, SPEAK OUT. KEEP HUGGING**
