The grassroots organization LA Uprising launched a campaign this week asking Los Angeles city officials to end an ongoing indoor mask mandate for youth sports at city facilities.

Group organizer Ross Novie, a father of two Los Angeles public school students, said he started the effort after visiting Mar Vista Recreation Center last weekend and found children masked up while playing basketball.
