“Black lives matter’ doesn’t mean other lives don’t matter. Black lives matter speaks to racism and the disproportionate risk that Black people face in our law enforcement and justice system, financial, educational, housing and medical systems.” – attributed to several speakers.

Fidelco employees have a passion for improving the lives of people who are blind. Our clients speak of increased dignity, independence, mobility and safety. These values are part of what we are contributing to Black Lives Matter and to helping to eradicate systemic racism.

For the first time, we observed Juneteenth this year, providing a day for reflection and learning for our staff. This month we will launch our Diversity and Inclusion Council, comprised of employee volunteers. We will gather input from all employees, clients and donors to aggressively identify opportunities to better serve members of the of the Black community who are blind, and keep our focus on Black Lives Matter.

Furthermore, we will be conducting a review of all vendors, partners and organizations with whom we conduct business to validate that everyone we work with actively supports Black Lives Matter.

Fidelco is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer and we will continue to emphasize our focus on diversity and inclusion in all aspects of hiring and employment. 

Black Lives Matter.
