It is a 501(c)(4) organization. HistoryThe group was formed in 1972 by David Zwick as a grassroots and lobbying organization whose goal was to enact platforms delineated in Zwick's publication Water Wasteland. To reach this goal, Zwick outlined a grassroots strategy of door-to-door canvassing and public education.[3] One of its first accomplishments occurred in 1986 when the group, along with the National Campaign Against Toxic Hazards, published a report claiming the Environmental Protection Agency was failing to properly enforce the federal Superfund toxic waste cleanup program.[4] Political advocacyClean Water Action has endorsed both political actors and causes. In 2012, the group supported the re-election of Democratic President Barack Obama.[5] In 2008, Clean Water Action and Earth Justice brought a lawsuit against the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for not complying with state and federal water protection laws by allowing partially treated fracking wastewater to be discharged into the Monongahela River. The court ruled in favor of the plaintiff.[6][7] Clean Water Action has also been involved in campaigns to reduce plastic's environmental impact through their support of California's Assembly Bill 888, which proposed to ban the use of plastic microbeads in rinse-off personal care products.[8][9] Similar federal legislation was enacted with the passing of the Microbead–Free Waters Act of 2015. The group also supported Minneapolis's ordinance restricting the use of single-use plastic bags.[10][11] See also
