About this organization
Mission
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) uses aggressive legal action, in-depth research, and bold communications to reduce the influence of money in politics and help foster a government that is ethical and accountable. We highlight abuses, change behavior, and lay the groundwork for new policies and approaches that encourage public officials to work for the benefit of the people, not powerful interests. We believe that government can and often does have a positive impact on the lives of Americans. It has become abundantly clear, though, that the corrupting influence of money from powerful interests creates a major barrier to even the most well-intentioned politicians and officials working effectively for the common good. CREW is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
About

The threat this conduct poses to our democracy, and the corrupting influence of money in politics. It has publicized instances of these kinds of abuses and broader patterns of unethical conduct and improper or excessive influence. The organization's activities have been highlighted in print, broadcast, and online news sources throughout the country and the world. It also maintains websites and social media accounts that publicize its activities. CREW has also published in-depth reports on government ethics and corruption issues and on the influence of money in politics based on its own research, obtained documents, and legal analysis.
