Healthcare workers across the U.S. are protesting systemic racism and racial injustice.
The protests are part of the "White Coats for Black Lives" national demonstration and in solidarity with the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
They come in the wake of the death of George Floyd, a black man who died Memorial Day in the custody of Minneapolis police. Mr. Floyd died after an officer pressed his knee on Mr. Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes, igniting protests against excessive police force worldwide.
Here is where employees have protested in June:
