Encaremos

Encaremos is a term and slogan in Spanish-language discourse used to emphasize collective action in confronting social, environmental, and economic challenges.

Linguistically, encarar means to face or confront; encaremos is the first-person plural present form meaning we will face or let us face. As a phrase, it functions both as a verb and as a rallying motto.

Origin and usage: The term has roots in everyday speech and informal writing, becoming more visible in civic campaigns and educational materials during the 2010s and 2020s. It is used across Spanish-speaking communities to communicate urgency and shared responsibility in addressing issues such as climate resilience, public health, and social equity.

In practice, encaremos appears as a slogan for workshops, policy proposals, and community initiatives that prioritize participatory planning and transparent decision-making. Some commentators see it as a positive call to action; others view it as vague without accompanying concrete measures.
