Description edit
Phyllis Olin currently serves as Western States Legal Foundation's (WSLF's) Board President. After many years of anti-nuclear activism as a co-founder of Architects/Designers/Planners for Social Responsibility, Ms. Olin spent a semester working as a legal intern at WSLF, joining its Board in 1995. She is now an attorney in private practice.
Ms. Olin has played a leading role in WSLF's work on nuclear transportation, opposition to "Urban Warrior" military combat exercises in Oakland, opposition to a military charter school in Oakland and environmental litigation challenging the California Department of Toxic Substances Control's failure to do adequate environmental review in connection with the issuance of a permit for Livermore Lab's hazardous waste management facility. She has represented WSLF at national and international conferences, including Alliance for Nuclear Accountability and Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review conferences.
Ms. Olin is currently a member of the Coordinating Committee of the People's NonViolent Response Coalition (PNVRC). WSLF was a co-founder of PNVRC, a multi-issue coalition of groups and individuals who came together in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks to formulate and promote nonviolent alternatives to the "war on terrorism" both at home and abroad.
