To Remember: Red Remembrance Day

For the silenced, the suffering, and the unseen.

Since 2022, NZDSOS, alongside New Zealanders who value truth, conscience, and medical freedom, have come together each November 15th to mark Red Remembrance Day, honouring those whose lives were forever changed by the government’s “no jab, no job” mandates of 2021.

It was a time when bodily autonomy was sacrificed under coercion, when people were forced to choose between their livelihoods and an experimental injection, and when our leaders and health authorities failed in their most sacred duty: to protect, not harm, the people they were meant to serve.

NZDSOS initiated this day of commemoration not out of bitterness, but out of duty, to remember, to bear witness, and to ensure such overreach never happens again. We chose the colour red to symbolise the blood that binds us all: blood spilt and clotted, blood ties broken, hearts wounded yet still beating. Red for courage and for the life force that tyranny could not extinguish.

Four years on, the silence from our leaders and health authorities is deafening. This was the government injection, and the responsibility for the harm it caused lies with them. Thousands continue to suffer, hidden and ignored, while officials turn their backs on mounting evidence. This is not oversight: this is complicity. It is a crime playing out in plain sight, and the longer they ignore it, the more certain accountability becomes.

Through our advocacy, official correspondence, and submissions to the Royal Commission of Inquiry, NZDSOS has documented and presented evidence that authorities have either overlooked, dismissed, or deliberately excluded. Peer-reviewed studies and independent international findings reveal contamination, mechanisms of injury, and widespread systemic harms that demand urgent investigation. Yet, still, those responsible refuse to see it. The suffering of the people cannot be ignored, and the truth will not remain buried.

Red Remembrance Day is a stand for truth and justice. Together, visibly and loudly we must ensure that fear, coercion, and silence never again override humanity.
