===Vietnam War===
Highly visible in civil-rights marches, Baez became more vocal about her disagreement with the [[Vietnam War]]. In 1964, she publicly endorsed [[tax resistance|resisting taxes]] by withholding sixty percent of her 1963 income taxes. In 1964, she founded the Institute for the Study of Nonviolence<ref>{{cite web |title=Institute for the Study of Nonviolence Collected Records |url=https://archives.tricolib.brynmawr.edu/resources/scpc-cdg-a-institute_for_the_study_of_nonviolence |website=Tricollege Libraries, Archives and Manuscripts |access-date=October 14, 2023}}</ref> (along with her mentor Sandperl) and encouraged draft resistance at her concerts. The Institute for the Study of Nonviolence would later branch into the Resource Center for Nonviolence.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.joanbaez.com/links.html |title=The Joan Baez Web Pages |publisher=Joanbaez.com |access-date=August 25, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160316164626/http://www.joanbaez.com/links.html |archive-date=March 16, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 1966, Baez's autobiography, ''Daybreak'', was released.
