SCRIPT:
- My name is [YOUR NAME] and I’m getting engaged!
- This isn’t an ordinary engagement.
- But it does involve jewelry.
- And lots of it.
- I’m getting engaged with the movement to support conflict-free gold from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
- Did you know, that armed groups in Congo have made hundreds of millions of dollars by illegally mining and smuggling gold?
- This money allows them to: Buy more weapons. Terrorize civilians. Burn villages. Rape women and girls.
- It also motivates them to keep fighting, prolonging fear and violence in Congolese communities.
- Jewelry retailers, the world's largest end-users of gold, can make a difference.
- Today, I’m asking the top jewelry brands and supersellers in the US: Cartier, Costco, Helzberg, JC Penney, Jewelry Television,
Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, QVC, Ross-Simons, Sears, Signet, Target, Tiffany, Walmart, and all jewelry companies around the
world to join me and get engaged.
- Ask them to commit to buy conflict-free gold from Congo.
- Because I want my gold jewelry to be contribute to peace in Congo.
- I think it’s time for you to get engaged too.
