City leaders approved a Charter for Compassion in Milford Monday night.
The movement comes after the April death of Maren Sanchez at Jonathan Law High School. As News 12 has reported, a classmate allegedly stabbed Maren to death at the school.
Maren's mother Donna Cimarelli-Sanchez and Jade Ramos were two among the many residents urging the city's Board of Aldermen to approve the charter.
Residents say this citywide kindness movement will encourage people to be compassionate and treat others as they would want to be treated.
Mayor Ben Blake says he supports the charter and he hopes it will unify the people.
Mayor Blake says Milford is the second city in Connecticut to adopt the charter. Danbury already has one.
