We believe Black Lives Matter. At the SEMI Foundation, we are determined to support creating a more just and equitable future for Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other people of color all across our country and around the world. We acknowledge the broken systems that have resulted in inequities throughout our industry. We are launching new work, both internal to the Foundation and external for our partners, to confront these inequities and to dismantle and rebuild these systems with an anti-racist framework.

We are committed to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion both within SEMI and for all of our member companies and partners. Please use the links below to find a variety of articles, videos, and book recommendations to further these conversations in your own company.

Topics include:

  • leading with empathy
  • having tough conversations around race
  • supporting employees
  • creating a culture of equity and inclusion

We welcome your suggestions for additional resources to highlight. Please reach out to us at [email protected]
