Councillors in the California city of Richmond have voted unanimously in favour of impeachment proceedings against US President Donald Trump.
They also called for Congress to investigate the President’s business ties.
Gayle McLaughlin, who led the move, told ABC7: “This is our voice. This is our country. We have a right to speak up.”
The symbolic vote formed part of what activists hoped was a “grass roots” campaign against Mr Trump, one Richmond resident told the website.
The Richmond vote was not the first local council motion to go against the billionaire.
In the UK, Gateshead councillors voted unanimously to withhold their authority’s funds from being used for Mr Trump’s state visit later this year, following the imposition of his travel ban.
