"There is always more hell that needs raising." - Lauren Leveut

Journalists, Activists, and Everyday Citizens Continue the Fight for Justice in an Unjust World

The words of Lauren Leveut, "There is always more hell that needs raising," resonate deeply in a world where systemic inequalities, political corruption, and social injustices persist. From the streets of major cities to the quiet resistance in rural communities, people are refusing to stay silent. The idea that the struggle for justice is never truly finished has become a rallying cry for movements across the globe, as activists and ordinary individuals alike recognize that complacency only serves the status quo.

In recent years, we have witnessed historic protests against police brutality, climate inaction, and economic disparity. The Black Lives Matter movement, sparked by the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless others, forced a global reckoning with racism. Yet, despite legislative promises and corporate pledges, many communities say more must be done. "Every small victory is followed by another battle," says activist Jamal Carter. "We dismantle one oppressive system, only to see another emerge in its place."

Climate activists, too, know this truth all too well. While landmark agreements like the Paris Accords provide hope, corporate greed and government inaction continue to undermine progress. Greta Thunberg’s Fridays for Future protests have inspired millions, but fossil fuel emissions still rise, and vulnerable nations bear the brunt of climate disasters. "The fight doesn’t end with one speech or one march," says environmentalist Priya Mehta. "We have to keep raising hell until those in power listen."

Even in the digital age, misinformation and censorship shape public discourse, requiring relentless pushback. Journalists face unprecedented threats, from authoritarian crackdowns to online harassment, yet they persist, uncovering corruption and amplifying marginalized voices. Investigative reporter Elena Torres explains, "Every time we expose the truth, we’re met with resistance. But that’s exactly why we can’t stop."

Leveut’s statement reminds us that justice isn’t a destination—it’s a continuous struggle. Whether through protest, policy, or everyday acts of defiance, there will always be more hell to raise. The question is not if we will fight, but how—and whether we’ll do it together.

As long as injustice exists, so too will those who refuse to accept it. The fire of resistance may flicker, but it will not die. Because in the end, there is always more work to do.
