Yoko Ono, married to John Lennon, joined NVP as a most Honorable Peace and Non-Violence Ambassador in January 2011.

Yoko Ono stated in the pressrelease: "When John wrote ‘Imagine’ he had a vision of the world in peace. While creating my interpretation of the knotted gun symbol, I thought back to Imagine and the world “living as one” as both John and I were and are devoted to the idea that global peace is a realistic objective. The Non-Violence Project is taking that vision through into the 21st century.”
