Two California-based advocacy organizations filed a lawsuit on Thursday against Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom and the state’s top health officials over COVID-19 protocols for K-12 schools.

The groups, Let Them Breathe and Reopen California Schools, include parents of students attending public schools throughout the state.
