Men, Women, It's Time To Speak Up
Men, we need you. Please speak up, please stand beside us women who are speaking up. For our children's sake.
It’s time to learn HOW to say what we are compelled to say - so those currently making decisions on our behalf will hear us. We have the right to ask questions, present our facts and research, hold these people to account, and offer to work alongside them to assist in doing what is morally right.
Where ethics and morals seem non-existent, we need to find our voices now.

International Women's Day - Penny's Ponderings
Today is March 8th 2024, International Women’s Day. I felt to share from my heart, a few words, to encourage and celebrate the uniqueness of women.
I chat about what a woman is (to me), our roles in society, what International Women’s Day means to me, and what are some of our greatest threats. For references to some of the topics I mention, check out the comments below.
I hope every single beautiful woman and girl out there takes at least a moment today to remind themselves how wonderful you are. You are needed in this world. Shine, beautiful, shine.

TPANZ - A New Union For The NZ Education Sector
Teachers Professional Association of New Zealand (TPANZ) is a new union in New Zealand catering to everyone in the education sector, who are looking for an alternative to the NZEI or PPTA.
Until now, the only options for those in the education sector were NZEI (for primary school staff) and PPTA (for post-primary staff), or no union representation.
Jack McGuire and Rachael Mortimer from TPANZ join me to explain why they saw the need for an alternative union in NZ, that was not politically affiliated, and can therefore provide a neutral, supportive service for those who wish to join.
TPANZ offers lower membership fees and faster service than existing education sector unions.

NZ Teachers Court of Appeal Update with Rachael from NZTSOS
This interview is important for everyone in the education sector, or whose lives touch it… parents, community leaders.
Approx 1200 members joined NZTSOS, and the team learnt there were 300-4000 educators who were mandated in 2021. These were not only teachers, but employees from throughout the school system - administration, learning support, special needs support etc.
NZTSOS was also a safe place for educators who took the Covid injection and suffered adverse events.
"...one of the biggest things from this is we have lost so many good teachers who have said after being treated this way they won't come back."
"We've also still got schools who won't take staff back if they are unvaccinated ...There is still segregation, it seems to be anything under COVID is counted as you could do whatever you wanted to anybody."
"And the kids that we have, God bless them, they're beautiful kids and they have lost so much... they've lost a lot of stability, a lot of their routines."

Growing Food With Friends
Join me as I’m on-site with a friend in Canterbury, New Zealand. He, along with others in his local community, have developed a process that provides a box of vegetables for 50 families a week.
This is a great example of abundance, contribution, energy exchange, eating local and in-season, and healthy living.
This example is happening on one acre, with community involvement, and organic bio-dynamic practices.
If you want to know where your food comes from, reduce your reliance on supermarkets and shops, and participate in a community food project, you’ll want to check this out.
Share it with people in your community, and start making a plan!
Start small, and see what happens.
Please stay in touch - you can get to all my channels and recent media here: https://linktr.ee/pennymarienz

Handing The Shame Back - With Child Sexual Abuse Survivor Gloria Masters
Viewer discretion is advised:
This conversation discusses child sexual abuse and trafficking. It also displays learning material the NZ Ministry of Education promotes for young children (We are NOT endorsing this material, we are informing parents who may not be aware).
Gloria Masters is the founder of Handing The Shame Back Foundation, a charity dedicated to supporting adult survivors of child sexual abuse.
https://www.handingtheshameback.org/
As a child Gloria survived 16 years of child sexual abuse, including trafficking. This abuse began with her family, and quickly spread to other groups and gangs. Three years ago, she felt healed enough to help others by publishing her memoir 'On Angels Wings', and establishing the charity.
Child sex trafficking has been occurring in society since time began. This issue is not new. It urgently needs to be brought out into the light to be dealt with, and for the children and adults affected to find a pathway to enable healing.
‘Most good people do nothing because they don’t know what to do.’ - Gloria Masters

Appeal To Mainstream Media To Speak Truth
Spoken at a march in September 2022 outside TVNZ, where many people gathered at Aotea Square and walked to TVNZ office and recording studios, to hold the New Zealand media to account on the propaganda causing harm to the people of NZ.
This heartfelt message is for those in all industries, who know something is quite wrong, to listen to their conscience and reach out to a friend or family member who has been informing them of what is really going on, and to speak up.
