We are committed to change.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>UNMC and Nebraska Medicine staff members at locations other than the Omaha campus or who can&#8217;t make it to the Search Tower at noon are invited to participate wherever they are at that time. <\/p>\n<p>Masks and appropriate social distancing are required while participating in groups.<\/p>\n<p>The gatherings also are intended to show support to others within the UNMC community, Dr. Grace said. &#8220;Part of the staff is feeling anxious with COVID-19, the violent deaths and protests. The way to change the culture is to get people to think about what they can do to be allies, instead of bystanders. We all must keep learning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The national effort uses the social media hashtag #WC4BL.<\/p>\n<p>Those interested in pursuing a possible student chapter of White Coats 4 Black Lives
