Bleach your tie-dye garments, sheets and pillows... on August 16th, 1 PM, in Central Park's Sheep Meadow (New York,) activists and loving couples will adorn themselves in white to prepare for the 40 year anniversary celebration of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's very first bed-in.

At this event, peace-lovers will physically create a giant peace sign to promote nonviolence and to pay homage to the revolutionary 60s movement supported by Lennon and Ono. However, the Vietnam war is long gone; in this day and age, we have different issues in the world to be aware of, such as nuclear disarmament. One similarity that still stands true is that the world is at war. Hopefully, this bed-in movement will kick up dust and open eyes to change. Check out some old-time footage from the first bed-in:
By the way, Yoko would like to pass this on to you:
