We Stand With Nikki

Last night, Dutchess County spoke loud and clear: WE VOTED HIM OUT!!!

Kara Gerry unseated one of the most established, well-funded, powerful men in our county—and a large part of that is because of what Judge McLoughlin did and said to Nikki.

Despite his best efforts to change the narrative with lies, and cover up the harm he caused—not only to Nikki, but our entire community…

The power of the people was indeed stronger than the people in power.

And today we have elected a woman who is fair, honest, wise, and compassionate to one of the highest positions in our county.

This is accountability.

This is community care and collective action.

THIS is justice.

Today is Election Day.

For years, you’ve shown what solidarity looks like. You stood with survivors, with neighbors, and with one another — reminding our community that care and courage can coexist.

We Stand With Nikki began as a call for our community to bear witness; to see the humanity of a mother who saved her own life and the lives of her children; to validate her harrowing lived experiences; to believe her. It has become something much larger. It is a reminder of what it means to show up when it matters most.

Every time we act, speak, or vote, we carry that same commitment forward. We remind the world that standing with one person is also standing for fairness, safety, and dignity for all.

Vote for Kara Gerry for Dutchess County Court Judge. Tell incumbent Ned McLoughlin, the judge who called Nikki a “broken person” and gave her a life sentence, that his time is up.

Today, let’s show up again.

Polls in Dutchess County are open 6 a.m. – 9 p.m. Find your polling place here: https://elections.dutchessny.gov/voter-information/

Your presence at the polls is more than a ballot — it’s a statement of care, persistence, and solidarity.

Thank you for standing with Nikki.

Thank you for standing with survivors.

Thank you for standing with each other.
