We want to provide a voice to the socially and politically conscious world citizen. We believe the problems of the world are our problems. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". We need to truly "listen without borders" and pursue justice without regard to race, religion and culture. LWB wants to help make this happen.
