Another iconic t-shirt of John Lennon and Yoko Ono taken from their week-long Bed-in for Peace to protest against war and promote world peace.
The event was held in the couple's suite at the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel in March, 1969 and was the first of two Bed-ins (the other being held in Montreal, Canada in May, 1969).

Yoko Ono Lennon
1 December 2015
This is the last autograph ever signed by John Lennon. This was signed at approximately 10:30 PM on December 8th, 1980, for a switchboard operator named Ribeah Seminole at The Hit Factory.
(In Spanish at the bottom)
Yesterday Getafe, a working class populated city at the South of Madrid, wanted to pay homage to the victims of domestic violence and prepared several acts during the whole evening and night to people aware about this social problem and as a way of telling to the victims that they are not forgotten.
Yoko Ono’s Wish Tree, a huge Cedar tree, was placed in the afternoon by a Lorry mounted crane in the main square of the city calling the attention of the old people there walking and chatting under a friendly winter sun.
As I put the tag with Yoko’s wish in the tree to take a photo, they came around and one of them asked me with an ironic smile “Are you selling this tree? Is the price written in the tag? I laughed for his humorous way of approaching me, and his funny way of asking without asking, that it was a pleasure for me telling them about the Wish Tree and the International Day for the elimination of violence against women.
They started to talk about women in Getafe killed by their husbands and asked to participate. Nothing was prepared yet, and the whole thing was supposed to start at 5 p.m., but I forgot all protocol and provided them some tags and pens still in the bags and boxes and they were the first ones to tie wishes to the tree.
That square is the main witness of the energy of the city and of all the movements of its people during the whole journey, because when old people returned to their houses about 3p.m. children started to flow from the surrounding streets. They were very interested about the whole thing.
Pens and tags seemed to fly through the table we had set for people to write their wishes. They asked their parents to help them to tie their wishes and encourage them to write their own. It was amazing seeing them running from the table to the tree again and again and again with that special and beautiful energy children have, calling their friends in the distance to come and write wishes.
At 5 p.m. people started to build a path of light leading to the Wish Tree and in the stages around the square started some circus, dance, theatre and music performances, all of them related to the issue of domestic violence.
The major of the city tied to the Wish Tree the message sent by Yoko Ono to erase domestic violence and the women of Getafe read a manifesto against domestic violence. The most moving moment of the whole evening was when a very young girl read a letter to her mother killed for her father last year in Getafe.
The path of light to the Wish Tree grew and grew and people placed candles at its feet as a symbol of the presence of the 53 women victims of domestic violence in Spain last year.

Message from Yoko Ono:
Hi, Jorge!
I see that you are working, as usual.
We are at the point where we can end all violence very soon, by the effort of people like you.
Thank you.
yoko
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have just placed the WISH TREE in Getafe (Madrid). People will start tying wishes to erase domestic violence at 5 p.m (Madrid time) / 11 a.m (New York time) and will end at 9 p.m.(Madrid time) / 3 a.m. (New York time).
You can follow the event in real time in Twitter twitter.com/#!/gtfvisibles twitter.com/#!/gtfvisibles
We will upload photos of the people once they put their wishes in the tree.
The tree is a Cedrus (common name Cedar), an evergreen mystical tree with scented wood that I chose it because of its beauty and because I felt it as a shelter for victims of violence and a healing place for tormented souls.
Acabamos de colocar en Getafe el ÁRBOL DE LOS DESEOS contra la violencia de género,y hemos colgado el mensaje que envió Yoko Ono expresamente para esta ocasión:
Borremos la violencia doméstica en este planeta!
Ama, ten esperanza, sueña y borra
Amor,
Yoko 2011
El acto empezará a las 5 de la tarde y concluirá a la 9 de la noche. Puede seguirse casi en directo en Twitter twitter.com/#!/gtfvisibles twitter.com/#!/gtfvisibles
Vamos a ir colgando fotos de los eventos minuto aminuto durante toda la jornada.
El árbol es un Cedro (Cedrus) un árbol de hoja peremne y madera olorosa considerado místico que puede llegara vivir hasta dos mil años y que escogí por su belleza y porque lo vi como un refugio para las víctimas de la violencia doméstica y un lugar donde las almas atormentadas pueden llegar a encontrar la paz.
Animaos a venir.

The LennonOno Grant for Peace was created by Yoko Ono Lennon to honour her late husband John Lennon’s dedication to peace and commitment to the preservation of human rights.
Created in 2002, this biennial award has always been given to two recipients.
To mark this special anniversary year, Yoko Ono presented this award to four recipients who have been selected based on their courage and commitment to peace, truth and human rights.
The recipients are:
Filmmaker Josh Fox wrote and directed the documentary feature film Gasland in 2010. Josh’s work is known for its mix of gripping narrative, heightened imagery and its commitment to socially conscious themes and subjects.
Barbara Kowalcyk was propelled into food safety advocacy in 2001, when her two-year-old son, Kevin, died after suffering an E.coli infection from tainted food. Barbara and her mother Patricia Buck created the Center for Foodborne Illness & Prevention (CFI) a national non-profit organization committed to improving public health by preventing foodborne illness through research, education, advocacy and service.
Author Michael Pollan has been writing books and articles about the places where nature and culture intersect: on our plates, in our farms and gardens, and in the built environment. He is the author of numerous best sellers, most recently Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual.
Author, poet, and activist Alice Walker is known for her brave stance against racism, sexism, and human rights issues. In 2009, she traveled to Gaza along with a group of 60 other female activists from the anti-war group Code Pink to oppose the controversial blockade and violence against Gaza by Israel and Egypt. Her book Overcoming Speechlessness documents her experiences in Gaza and abroad.

I purchased this card when I saw Yoko Ono's show at the Art Gallery of Ontario in 2002. I had heard her give a talk a few months before that show (in the fall of 2001) and she gave out pieces of sky to everyone there....and told everyone at the talk that we would all meet again to put the sky back together. These pieces are probably all scattered throughout the globe at this point (if she was giving them out from 1998 onwards). The concept is very moving - as was the entirety of her talk/show.
This woman is awesome.

YOKO ONO: IMAGINE PEACE Featuring John & Yoko's Year of Peace
September 26th - October 28th, 2007
UTSA Art Gallery / Department of Art and Art History
The University of Texas at San Antonio
Last year Yoko sent me 5000 badges to share with schoolchildren in Australia who helped me collect blankets for Mongolians.
I organised the Magical Mongolian Blanket Bus as a celebration of the 40th anniversary of ther Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour, as well as being a practical way of collecting and moving blankets down the east coast of Queensland.
A chronology of our project can be found at www.blankets4mongolia.com
As it turned out I had many badges to spare and decided to share them with Mongolian children from the Gobi Desert who I met just recently whilst delivering blankets for Mongolian hospitals and schools etc. Please find 2 messages which describe my recent trip to Mongolia, and which hopefully show that Peace can be Imagined and made real.
These delivery pictures were all taken in the Gobi Desert between Oct 9 and Oct 11, 2008. The truck which I accompanied for this distribution is also seen being packed in Ulaan Baatar on Oct 2. The distance between the UB storage and the nearest Gobi soum (village) to receive blankets during the trip, is 800km.
These pics are from my recent visit to Mongolia - in fact some blankets had already been distributed before I arrived, and many more will continue to be distributed over the next 3 to 6 months ... it is not such an easy thing to organise:) For instance, the Bayangovi hospital which triggered my 1st collection, is now very well stocked with blankets, sheets and pillows. Their supply was topped up in July so there was no need to deliver more blankets to the hospital. We instead were planning more blankets for the soum dormitory, but the unexpected participation of my Mongolian friend and partner Bodio, in the Bayangovi local election meant that he could not be seen to be delivering gifts until after election day, so .... Anyway, he won the election and I now have a government contact in Mongolia who is there for the right reasons!
Therefore these pics include the kindergarten and school dorm at Shinejinst soum, the kindergarten (Qantas blankets draped over teachers) and school dorm at Bayan-Undur soum, and the kindergarten and school at Bayanlig soum. The drivers ha already delivered blankets to Jinst and Bogd soums before I caught up with them in Bayangovi. Bayanlig is the home of the young girl whose picture inspired me to start the ball rolling in 2003 -she became my poster girl and I caught up with her again this trip - very special for me!
Of course also, we delivered 'Imagine Peace' badges to the school kids at Bayanlig and Bayangovi, and those special pics are coming soon - only a select group of schools in Mongolia and Queensland received these gifts from Yoko Ono. Oct 9 was of course the 68th anniversary of the birth of John Lennon, and on the same day as we 'made warm not war!' in Bayanlig, a statue of the Fab Four was unveiled in Ulaan Baatar.
Thank you to everyone ...
...but the Magical Mongolian Tour continues ...
