Safe Streets for Sasha
Sasha Rosen was a seventeen year old son, cousin, nephew, and beloved friend. He was a goofy, music loving, video game playing, baggy pants wearing, espresso drinking high school senior who could talk equally about rap music and U.S. politics.
His life was senselessly taken by an act of traffic violence.
