Carolyn’s note: October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. As a former Americorps D.V. Victims project attorney and former Interim Director of the now-defunct Domestic Violence Commission, I want to encourage more awareness and community support for D.V. programs. Wear purple on October 20th, to “paint Pima purple.”
