rebelarse, verb:
to rebel

Reflexive verbs do not necessarily involve an action which you ‘do’ to yourself, such as lavarse, to wash. One which doesn’t is rebelarse, to rebel. If you rebel against something, the preposition you use is contra, just like English.

Hay que rebelarse contra la corrupción.
You have to rebel against corruption.
