Find a word related to D E M A N D

Question

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym -- phrase, compound nouns, idiom, phrasal verb ) related to the word – D E M A N D ( sustantivo / verbo ) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Example:

Because there is great demand for skilled workers they are demanding better pay.

Debido a que hay una gran demanda de trabajadores calificados que están exigiendo mejores salarios.

Pictures are a good idea.
