El Cerrito Protests, Greenland Sovereignty and Danish Monarchy
Protesters gathered at El Cerrito Plaza on January 20th for a general strike coinciding with the anniversary of Donald Trump's first inauguration. The crowd, largely composed of retirees, displayed signs including one demanding "Hands Off Greenland," despite Greenland being a protectorate of Denmark. The discussion notes historical tensions regarding Denmark's past sterilization programs in Greenland and the irony of "No Kings" signs appearing in a country that remains a monarchy.
