Breast Cancer Montreal will use the room of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s 1969 bed-in for a campaign. They will occupy the room in the Queen Elizabeth hotel Thursday morning.

The group is asking for mandatory labeling of products that can cause cancer. They want warning labels on products with links to cancer like cosmetics and processed foods. They hope to get enough signatures from the public for a petition.

Lennon and Ono famously stayed in the hotel room for seven days to protest the Vietnam war. They recorded “Give Peace a Chance” during their stay.
