Letter to the Biden Administration in support of chip and semiconductor supply chains

Abstract

As the representatives of millions of students, educators, librarians, administrators, community members, and parents, we write to offer our support for your efforts to review the resilience of semiconductor supply chains. The education sector is relying on technology powered by chips to administer remote learning during the pandemic and address long-standing issues like the digital divide and homework gap. We hope that this supply chain review illuminates opportunities to strengthen global semiconductor supply chains, increase domestic chip manufacturing capacity, and boost global chip production for all the benefit of all industries that use technology powered by semiconductors.
