Kamala Harris's full DNC speech

Published | Video Starts at 15:09

That has been my life's work. As a young courtroom prosecutor in Oakland, California, I stood up for women and children against predators who abused them. As attorney general of California, I took on the big banks, delivered $20 billion for middle class families who faced foreclosure, and helped pass a homeowner bill of rights, one of the first of its kind in the nation. I stood up for veterans and students being scammed by big for profit colleges, for workers who are being cheated out of their wages, the wages they were due for seniors facing elder abuse. (15:09–15:28)
