bed-in
Horizontal peaceful demonstration
A bed-in is a form of peaceful protest where participants remain in bed, typically in a public or media-visible location, to draw attention to a cause.
The term was popularized by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who staged bed-ins for peace in 1969 as an alternative to more confrontational demonstrations.
The activists organized a bed-in to protest the housing crisis.
