"#WhiteCoatsForBlackLives — Addressing Physicians’ Complicity in Criminalizing Communities"

The New England Journal of Medicine

As  uprisings  continue  around  the United States in response to  police  violence  against  Black  people,  we  have  reached  a  mo-ment   of   reckoning   for   many   Americans.  As  a  nation,  we  are  struggling to find a way forward. Many  organizations  have  issued  statements of solidarity and made promises of support, as first steps. Individual  clinicians  and  physi-cians’  organizations  have  joined  the efforts, speaking out against police  violence  and  naming  rac-ism  as  a  public  health  issue  or  crisis.
