AlterNet: ¡Sí, Se Puede!: "New Yorkers' most popular rallying cry during Saturday's pro-immigrant demonstration was the buoyant ¡Sí, Se Puede! (Yes, we can!). From the Brooklyn Bridge all the way to Manhattan's Federal Plaza, the enthusiastic call was chanted to the beat of drums and punctuated by the trill of whistles. While the motto ¡Sí, Se Puede! has been appropriated from Cesar Chavez's United Farm Workers union (which was against illegal immigration), the optimistic phrase has proven an apt mantra in the call for compassionate immigration reform."
