The assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 11, 2025, sent shockwaves through the conservative world. From America’s heartland to New Zealand’s shores, social media overflowed with grief, outrage, and a stark realization: We’ve been too quiet for too long.

Here in New Zealand, where women first won the right to vote in 1893, we’ve let that legacy of courage fade into complacency.

The left has pushed conservative and family-oriented women to the margins, but we’re done staying silent.

It’s time to stand, speak, and reclaim our nation for family, freedom, and truth.

Why does America still claim superpower status while New Zealand slips into irrelevance?

The answer is clear:

We’ve let fear muzzle us.

Too many women vote for leftist parties—policies that undermine the family unit, erode parental rights, and prioritize ideology over our children’s future.

Our foremothers didn’t fight for suffrage to watch us surrender to agendas that weaken the home. They battled for strong families and thriving communities to secure a legacy for generations. So, when did we—pioneers who broke global barriers—trade that boldness for hesitation?

When did we stop defending not just our own kids, but every Kiwi child from the cultural chaos closing in?

Even when conservative voices rise—calling for freedom and the sanctity of family—they’re mostly male.

Where are we, women of New Zealand?

We’ve hidden behind the “silent majority” label, intimidated by leftist trolls and their venomous attacks online. We’ve feared the fallout of speaking out: policies that penalize parents, systems that scrutinize our choices. We’ve even shied away from disciplining our children with conviction, wary of society’s judgment.

In our silence, we’ve felt isolated, disconnected, defeated.

Be encouraged:

Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika, stands as a beacon of strength. In the face of devastating loss, she doesn’t retreat; she rises. Her voice, steady and unyielding, champions family values, truth, and liberty against the liberal tide. She’s a mother, a wife, a warrior who refuses to bow.

Closer to home, Posie Parker faced a storm of leftist hostility during her New Zealand visit. Threats and smears didn’t deter her—she stood firm for women and the family unit, her courage a spark for us all. These women aren’t outliers; they’re our examples.

They show the left’s rage is powerless against a woman grounded in purpose.

Women of New Zealand carry a legacy of strength.

In 1893, our nation led the world by giving women a voice.

Now, we must use it.

You’re not fragile; you’re pillars of resilience, built to weather any storm.

I implore New Zealand women to:

• Vote with purpose. Use your ballot to reject policies that fracture families. Support laws that protect children, strengthen parental rights, and prioritize the home—secure borders, safe schools, family-first values.
• Speak with boldness. Break the silence on social media, in community halls, in conversations with neighbours. Share how you stand for family, and truth. Don’t fear the backlash; let it fuel your fire.
• Build a movement. Form community groups in your towns, parenting networks in your suburbs.
• Raise children who vote with conviction, love with purpose, and live with courage.

Your children are watching—will they inherit a nation that values family or one lost to leftist ideology?

New Zealand stands at a crossroads.

The left wants us divided, silenced, beaten.

But we are the daughters of the first women to vote, the guardians of this land’s future.

Charlie’s sacrifice, Erika’s resolve, Posie’s defiance—they call us to act.

For your family, for our freedom and for the truth that anchors us.
