I thought the people in the white clothes were a cult that formed after the 2% disappear, and are trying to tell everyone not to forget what happened. I can imagine these guys knocking on my door every sunday afternoon, handing me pamphlets.

Although Nora's story about what happened to her is apparently not to be (completely) trusted:

The decision not to show what happened to her on the other side, or if she even successfully went through with the procedure, was made in order to cast a degree of suspicion over the whole thing. Not to mention the various lies told by other characters throughout the episode: Kevin's bizarre act that he and Nora had never met, the nun steadfastly denying that she had been with a man despite the fact that he had just climbed out of her room, and the sham-business of doves flying all over the world with messages of love because "it's just a nicer story".

It was only afterwards when I started reading interviews with the showrunners about their intentions that I remembered she had screamed out for them to stop the machine right before it jumped into the future.
