Protejamos

Protejamos is a Spanish verb form that conveys a collective call to action meaning “let us protect” or “we protect,” depending on the context. It is the present subjunctive form for the nosotros subject of proteger, and it is also used as the affirmative imperative for the same subject in the sense of a group-led suggestion or exhortation.

Linguistically, proteger is an -er verb. Its present indicative forms are protejo, proteges, protege, protegemos, protegéis, protegen, while the present subjunctive for nosotros is protejamos. As an exhortative or optative mood, protejamos expresses a wish, proposal, or invitation to act together to safeguard people, rights, or resources. In everyday language, it can appear in phrases such as “Protejamos a los más vulnerables” or in more concise slogans.

In usage, protejamos is common in advocacy, public policy, and campaign materials, where it functions as a call to collective responsibility. It is frequently found in social campaigns focused on human rights, environmental conservation, health, and disaster preparedness. The exact tone—policy language, NGO branding, or grassroots messaging—depends on context, audience, and accompanying text.

The expression is not tied to a single organization and can appear as a generic motto or as the name of campaigns and movements in Spanish-speaking contexts. Related terms include protección (protection) and proteger (to protect).
