Carolyn’s note: Susan Claassen, founder of Invisible Theater (now retired) and I share a similar last name via marriage, so we call each other “cousins”. This issue is important to me as the former Interim Director of the now-defunct Domestic Violence Commission in Tucson, and former Americorps D.V. attorney in Hawaii.
