About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges faced by Citizen's Impeachment, a movement aimed at holding power accountable, as shared by one of its founders, Keira Havens.

What happens when everyday citizens try to use the constitution the way it was intended - to hold those in power accountable? That's just what Citizen's Impeachment has set out to do, an online movement that gained real momentum before it was suddenly stopped in it's tracks. According to one of the founders, Keira Havens, it wasn't lack of support that postponed their goal - it goes much deeper than that. She tells us how it started, and where and why it hit a wall. But that still did not stop them. Their efforts remain strong, the mission stays in sight. What's important to remember when learning about a citizen-led movement such as this, is the reason it's even necessary for the people to have organized in the first place. And that's because the rest of the elected officials in place to advocate for us, are not doing their jobs. __________________________ SHARE THIS EPISODE NOW! __________________________ Find Citizen's Impeachment on socials: website - https://www.citizensimpeachment.com Also on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky under the name Citizens Impeachment ___________________________ *intro/outro audio: The Plot Thickens by Joshua Spacht Owner: Soundstripe, Inc.
