TJB 2021 Limited, more commonly known by its trade name Voices For Freedom (VFF), is a company with a special interest in the anti-vaccine movement in New Zealand. VFF was formed in December 2020 to oppose the New Zealand Government's COVID-19 response and vaccination rollout.[1][2] Despite its non-profit appearance in communications, VFF is registered as a limited liability company and is not legally recognised as a non-profit entity.[1]
The organisation is founded and led by three Auckland women: food blogger and former lawyer, Claire Deeks, business owner and former lawyer, Libby Jonson, and entrepreneur, Alia Bland.[3][4] Voices for Freedom claims to advocate for human rights, freedom of speech and freedom of choice. It has been criticised for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccinations.[5][6][7]
