Rep. Tony Hall (D-Ohio) and Amnesty International USA staged an anti-conflict-diamond rally and press conference in front of Cartier in New York in October, the beginning of what Hall says will be a campaign designed to inform consumers about the issue.
"We need to have a consumer education campaign," Hall told JCK. A press release from Hall's office called on consumers to ask their jewelers, "Where was this diamond mined?"; "Am I contributing to the bloodshed in Africa?"; and "What are you doing to stop this blood trade?" The release suggests leaving the store if proper assurances aren't given. Hall hinted that other "consumer education" events might follow.
