Yoko Ono signs petition for Oneness Day
The legendary Yoko Ono has signed a global grassroots petition appealing to the United Nations to declare a Oneness Day, her website says.
Other famous figures to add their names to the petition of some 50,000 signatures include South African Nobel Peace laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Deepak Chopra and Neale Donald Walsch. The Dalai Lama, envoy Sonam Tenzin and U.N. adviser Janis Roze are also on the petition.
The 1971 song Imagine, a classic by Ono’s ex-husband and Beatle, John Lennon, invites the world to come together as one: “I hope someday you’ll join us. And the world will be as one.”
Ono on her website called the appeal “potentially the most important petition ever launched”.
She said, “We are all one, united with infinite and eternal love.”
She also is said to have used Facebook and Twitter to promote the campaign.
The petition will be delivered to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon or next year’s General Assembly president, said petition drive coordinator Anna-Mari Pieterse of Pretoria, South Africa.
