The CREW

Since CREW's founding in 2003 as a nonpartisan non profit 501(c)(3) organization, we have achieved major successes holding those who abuse the system to account, compelling the government to be more open and transparent, and driving secret money and influence into the light. But we are not only focused on exposing wrongdoing. We are also deeply committed to reforming ethics and campaign finance laws, and work alongside policymakers to turn that into reality. We are working every day toward a government that actually works on behalf of the people rather than big donors or powerful industries. And we've been hard at work in recent years to lay the groundwork for key reforms to restore ethics and accountability to our government and shore up our democracy against attacks. Now that the danger to our democracy is less imminent, this is a crucial time to fight for reforms that will prevent any future president from exploiting loopholes, profiting from the presidency, and damaging our democracy like Donald Trump did. CREW believes the time for bold reform is now.
