"Sí, se puede" (Spanish for "Yes, it is possible" or, roughly, "Yes, we can";[1]pronounced[ˈsiseˈpwe.ðe]) is the motto of the United Farm Workers of America, and has since been taken up by other activist groups. UFW co-founder Dolores Huerta created the phrase in 1972 during César Chávez's 25-day fast in Phoenix, Arizona.[1][2][3] "Sí se puede" has long been a UFW guiding principle that has inspired the accomplishment of goals. The phrase is a federally registered trademark of the UFW. It has been widely adopted by other labor unions and civil rights organizations, and drew widespread political and media attention as a rallying cry during the U.S. immigration reform protests.[4][5]

The slogan has also been used in other countries, such as Spain and Venezuela.
"Sí se puede" is usually translated in English as "It can be done", or "Yes you can". The more literal translation that the United Farm Workers uses is "Yes, it can be done!"[6][7]
Other usesedit
The slogan is featured extensively in the 2002 Disney Channel Original Movie, Gotta Kick It Up!
The slogan is referenced in the 2023 film Barbie.[14]
AeroMexico's trademark applicationedit
After AeroMexico, a Mexican airline, had filed a trademark application for "Sí se puede" with the US Trademark Office, lawyers for the United Farm Workers defended the phrase as the intellectual property of the UFW. After litigation, AeroMexico agreed not to use the phrase and abandoned its trademark application.[1]
