queremos

Queremos is the first person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb querer, meaning "we want." In everyday Spanish, it functions as a statement of desire or intent. Beyond grammar, Queremos is commonly used as a rallying cry in protests and social movements across Spanish-speaking regions. Campaigns and organizations frequently pair Queremos with a noun phrase to specify demands, such as educación (education), vivienda (housing), trabajo (jobs), or derechos (rights). The formula underscores collective action and contrasts with other forms like "Querríamos" (we would like). The use of Queremos in slogans dates to long-standing civic organizing and has appeared in political campaigns, student protests, labor movements, and advocacy groups, reflecting a direct, plural voice.

In cultural contexts, the phrase has appeared in music and media as a concise expression of collective desire. It is also used in political commentary to critique or advocate for policy changes. See also: querer, slogan, protest movements, list of Spanish-language slogans.
