Priorytetujmy

Priorytetujmy is a Polish phrase that functions as a slogan and call to action in political and civic life. Literally translating to “Let us prioritize,” it uses the first-person plural imperative form of priorytet, meaning priority. Because it is a generic motto rather than the name of a single organization, it is employed by various groups and movements in Poland to advocate focusing resources and policy efforts on chosen needs.

Usage and contexts vary, but the phrase commonly appears in debates over public budgets, policy proposals, and social campaigns. Advocates use it to frame decisions as prioritization rather than mere spending, highlighting areas such as healthcare, education, affordable housing, infrastructure, climate protection, and social inclusion. The slogan is often deployed in public statements, manifestos, and campaign materials to convey a concise, action-oriented message.

Reception of the term is mixed. Supporters view Priorytetujmy as a clear and mobilizing message that encourages collective responsibility and participatory decision-making. Critics argue that prioritization is inherently subjective and can oversimplify complex governance trade-offs, potentially obscuring longer-term or systemic considerations.

Origins and popularity vary by region and context, with the phrase appearing in social media, civic events, and local campaigning. It functions as a flexible rhetorical tool that can be adapted to different policy agendas, rather than a fixed program or formal platform.
