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.

john-yoko-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:

"It’s Time For Action. The Action is PEACE. Spread the word. Spread PEACE. I love you!"

this is not about how amazing john lennon or yoko ono were or are, people. this is about all of us joining together for love and peace. this is about all people becoming one, and coexisting.

Everyone can "talk the talk" but can't "walk the walk." I understand that everyone proclaims to have "peace&love" but looking at some of these comments makes me wonder. I can't decide wether it makes me sad, or mad that no one can think of an original thing to say. If our time really understood what the peace movement was all about, that wouldn't be all we have to say.

I believe we all have compassion in us by joining this web site, now all we need is to proclaim peace! Peace within your own body, own mind, and through your relationships with other people. Stand up for what you believe in, don't stand around !

John Lennon was a amazing man, i hope his image and dream live on forever.

that's so amazing. people have forgotten what peace is. all we do it fight and obsses over are worldly objects. i dare all of you to get off your computer, put away your cell phones and ipod, have nothing but the clothes on your back and shoes on your feet and walk around your town one day and tell me what you see. thats peace.
