In 2008, Obama had the DNC stop taking donations from lobbyists.
However, a couple of months ago, the DNC started doing it again. The DNC recently let the public know about that policy change.
The White House says the current presidential candidates should decide. Hillary Clinton hasn't commented, as far as I've seen. Bernie Sanders has a petition against the lobbyist donations:
Please sign the petition. If you have a Twitter or Facebook account, then you can also post the link there.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz will only change the policy if Hillary Clinton tells her to.
