Bed-ins for Peace

The Bed-Ins for Peace were peaceful protest events in 1969, where the famous musicians John Lennon and Yoko Ono stayed in bed for a week as a way to promote peace and oppose war, especially the Vietnam War. They chose this non-violent, eye-catching method to draw media attention and encourage people to think about peace. These protests took place in hotels, and their message reached a global audience through the media coverage. The Bed-ins became symbolic of the power of peaceful demonstration and the influence of public figures in advocating social change.
