Our country is built on justice.
People's lives, as we just heard, can be harmed when we fail to do justice.
But Kamala Harris fights to do justice.
No one knows that better than the prosecutors who fought alongside her.
These are their stories.
I'm Amy Reznor.
I was a colleague in the courtroom when my friend Kamala tried one of her first cases
and made the prosecutors promise for the people.
For Kamala, practicing law was always about protecting the vulnerable and giving the victims
a voice.
Women who were sexually assaulted, children who were mistreated and sexually abused,
she helped them navigate their nightmares and demand justice for their injuries.
And she did it all with grit and grace, intelligence, and heart.
She was a remarkable prosecutor, and she will be a remarkable president.
Survivors of sexual assault struggle to be heard over the cacophony of voices demeaning,
just crediting and vilifying them.
When powerful offenders are allowed to manipulate public opinion by attacking their victim's
credibility, all victims suffer.
Those words are from the 2021 Amicus brief filed by RAINN, the nation's largest anti-sexual
violence organization in the case of E. Jean Carroll versus Donald J. Trump.
As a legislator and lifelong advocate against sexual violence, I urge all of us to stand
together to support survivors, believe them, and hold perpetrators accountable.
I'm Lisa Madigan, former attorney general of Illinois.
I worked with Kamala Harris during the Great Recession to protect homeowners from foreclosure.
As attorney general of California, Kamala met thousands of people on the verge of losing
their homes and their faith in the American dream.
She demanded big banks provide mortgage relief to allow families to stay in their homes.
She stood her ground, and together, we prevailed.
For as long as I have known her, Kamala Harris has always taken principled positions and never
wavered.
Thanks to Kamala's determination, countless Americans have a home they can call their
own.
And I'm Mark Moriel, civil rights leader and former mayor of New Orleans.
In the 1970s, Donald Trump was sued for refusing to rent his apartments to African Americans.
His employees were told, put those applications in a drawer and leave them there.
It was straight up housing discrimination.
It was racism and civil rights advocacy put an end to it.
Kamala Harris has a plan to build more housing, keep rent prices fair, and help more people
own homes.
Donald Trump, you denied black people the American dream.
And Kamala Harris is creating a future where every family, yes, every family has a place
to call home.
I'm Nathan Horns.
In 2010, I went to college in California to pursue my dreams, but ended up with a nightmare.
Corinthian colleges was a predatory for-profit chain.
They defrauded more than half a million students and burdened us with loans we could never
repay.
Then Kamala Harris stepped in.
As Attorney General of California, she stuck up for students.
She prosecuted Corinthian, and as vice president, she stuck with us.
As we fought and we organized for debt relief, the Biden-Harris administration came in, canceled
all Corinthian student debt, and gave us back our futures.
My name is Tristan Snell, and I prosecuted Trump University.
I interviewed over a hundred victims of Trump's fraud, a retired police sergeant, an Iraq
veteran with PTSD, a mother caring for her son with special needs.
They trusted Trump.
They believed that he would teach them his secrets and make their American dreams come
true, but all they got was credit card debt and a fake diploma.
Some lost their life savings, some lost their homes.
Donald Trump ripped off his biggest fans and made $5 million in profit.
Kamala Harris fought scammers like him, and as presidents, she will continue to fight
for you, for us, for the people.
Please welcome Massachusetts Governor, Maura Healy.
For the people, those three words define the role of a prosecutor to serve not only our
clients in the courtroom, but our community and our country, to give people a sense of
security and safeguard the principles that hold our nation together, to stand up to abusers
in bullies, and stand up for the voiceless and the vulnerable.
In other words, exactly what Kamala Harris has done her whole life.
When she was DA, mothers of children who'd been murdered, whose cases had gone cold, would
come to her office saying, I'll only speak to Kamala, because they knew she would listen,
because they knew she would help them find justice, and she did.
That's the Kamala Harris I know.
A few weeks ago in Massachusetts, I watched a little girl meet the vice president.
Her eyes were so wide, as open as the future.
Kamala asked her about the summer, her basketball camp, and what position she likes to play.
The little girl said to her, anything but defense.
Kamala put her hand on her shoulder and replied, Me too, I love offense.
That's what it means to be for the people.
Kamala Harris fights for all Americans.
She stays on offense and she wins.
And I know that she'll fight with the same passion, the same determination as president
of the United States.
I can't wait to see her prosecute the case against Donald Trump on the debate stage in
September.
He faces a stark choice in this election, a felon and con man, or a dedicated prosecutor.
The contrast between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is clear.
He obstructs justice.
She upholds it.
He swindles people.
She serves them.
He thinks he's above the law.
She actually understands the law.
That's what this election comes down to.
One candidate who's out for himself or Kamala Harris for the people.
It's a battle for the future of our nation.
And tonight, we will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Kamala Harris should be.
She must be the next president of the United States.
Thank you.
Please welcome survivor and advocate Courtney Baldwin.
Good evening Chicago.
I'm Courtney Baldwin.
In 2013, I was sold for sex in cities across California by a trafficker who controlled
every aspect of my life.
In those dark moments, I held on to hope that one day I'd be seen as more than a victim
that I could pursue my dreams and that my trafficker would be held justice.
I didn't know it yet, but waiting for me on the other side were people who were fighting
for survivors.
One of them was Kamala Harris.
As California's attorney general, she fought backpage.com, the website that let me and
thousands of others be bought and sold.
She filed criminal charges against his owner that shut down the website for good.
No one has ever done that.
Vice President Harris is fearless, compassionate, and she still gives me hope.
She's protected people like me her whole life, and I know she'll fight for us all as president.
Thank you.
We have to wake up at 2 a.m. in the morning.
It's the only way to beat the Phoenix Heat.
It's just like opening an oven.
I work on the light rail.
It's a good way to tackle the climate crisis, but the clock is ticking.
Climate change is one of the greatest conchops ever.
All of this with the global warming, and a lot of it's a hoax.
It's a hoax.
Hurricane barrel is the earliest category five on record.
Climate change is in the hoax, and it's not happening in the future.
It's happening right here, right now.
Here in Phoenix, the most consecutive 110-plus degree days in a row.
Trump is pouring gasoline on the fire.
He proceeded to solicit a billion dollars from the fossil fuel companies because, if
elected, he would roll back environmental rules and repeal regulations.
Trump's Project 2025 agenda gives tax breaks to big oil and completely tramples the middle
class.
Trump would gut clean energy jobs like mine.
This work gives us security and economic freedom.
Trump would rip that away.
Kamala Harris sees a future differently.
She's a clean energy champion.
She took on big oil that gouge Americans.
Harris was the deciding vote that passed Democrats' epic clean energy investments.
Kamala will fight for climate and clean energy policies that protect our health and hold
big polluters accountable.
The clock is not just ticking, it is banging, and that is why President Biden and I made
the largest climate investment in America's history.
We are not going back.
I was raised to care for my community.
That means jobs for my guys and a clean energy future.
Please welcome former New Mexico representative, Deb Holland.
Thank you.
Duazee, Duazee, help.
Du Hina Matt, it's Akiwita, Shua Mihanu.
In my Karis language, greetings, friends, and family, my name is Kresh Turquoise and
I'm from the Turquoise Clan.
35 generations ago, my ancestors built lives in the high desert of New Mexico.
I am on this stage tonight because of them.
While fishing with my dad and running through the desert with my cousins, I learned that
we have a responsibility to take care of our planet.
Donald Trump never learned that lesson.
He called the climate crisis a hoax.
He made it easier for big companies to poison our air and water.
An American president must lead the world in tackling climate change.
We need a president who understands that assignment.
That's Kamala Harris.
I know her record.
She held polluters accountable for spilling oil into the San Francisco Bay.
She defended President Obama's Clean Power Plan in court.
And as Vice President, she cast the tie-breaking vote for the most ambitious climate action
plan in our nation's history.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will fight for a future where we all have clean air, clean
water, and healthy communities.
Let me go back to the lesson I learned in the desert southwest.
We all have a role in protecting our earth for future generations.
So let's all be fierce, and let's make Kamala Harris the next president of the United States.
Thank you all so much.
It's an election year, and both parties are battling to prove that they stand with
workers.
But sometimes, workers don't get the invite.
After we struggle to find any auto workers at Trump's rally for auto workers, we hit
the road to find out what Democrats have been up to.
The Inflation Reduction Act is helping to fuel a boom in clean energy, creating 9 million
new clean energy jobs over the next 10 years, once in a generation investment.
I thought that American manufacturing was supposed to be dead.
Here I am looking at one of the biggest auto mega plants being built.
We talked to workers in rural Tennessee who joined a union for the first time to build
one of the largest battery plants in the country.
We have 20-year-old people thinking about their future.
We never did anything.
I got things now that I never thought I could have.
Generation of wealth, I'm working on that.
Medical demo vision, pinching, something to fall back on when it's all over with.
We went to Vegas where union workers are building America's first high-speed rail to
Lordstown, Ohio, where auto workers who lost their jobs under Trump returned to work at
a new battery plant.
This could be the future, this could bring industry back to Lordstown.
We saw it in its heyday, and here we are, we have the opportunity to make the battery.
And Milwaukee, where workers are replacing every lead pipe in the city.
It helps with the struggle.
You don't have to struggle with two or three jobs, you know, you can maintain with one
job.
This is my own neighborhood.
This is our own neighborhood.
Yes.
It makes me feel good because I'm giving back something.
It's easy for stories like these to get drowned out by fake worker rallies at non-union
plants.
Anybody know that there's a Donald Trump event just an hour away from here?
Yes, no.
No.
Was anybody invited to it?
But over the last four years, only one party has invested trillions in clean energy, bringing
back manufacturing and rebuilding infrastructure, putting workers at the center of it all.
And this is just the start.
Please welcome John Russell.
Hello America, thank you to the workers that make this convention happen.
Let's never forget how essential all of our labor is.
I come from Appalachia.
We kept the lights on in this country for generations.
But the wealth made by our broken backs and our black lungs never did trickle down.
And Washington listened to rich men demanding that we stick with dirty energy at any cost.
Across the country, working class people are looking for a political home.
After years of both parties putting profit above people.
Now, Trump, a billionaire, says that he'll take on the elites.
But then he promises handouts to big oil, and he punches down at anyone with the guts
to be different.
But populism, populism that insists we are too different to get along is just divide and
conquer by a different name.
There's another sort of populism with roots in this party that we in West Virginia know
well.
They called us rednecks back in the 1920s.
The striking workers from all different races wore red bandanas around their necks
as they fought and died for respect and a living wage.
Their fight yesterday is our fight right now, right now.
It is our choice to build on this progress and to create a political home for the mass
of working Americans fighting for control over their government, their workplaces,
and their planet.
And it is our moment to live up to.
Let's get after it.
Thank you very much.
And our team of students passed one of the first climate justice policies in our nation.
Vice President Kamala Harris showed up.
She came to highlight our initiatives because she believes in us.
Last year, my dad retired after spending more than 30 years working at one of our country's
most polluting power plants.
Donald Trump doesn't care about people like my dad.
I know Vice President Harris will put working families ahead of big oil billionaires.
Kamala Harris approaches climate policy in the eyes of future generations, like Mueller.
As new voters and as new leaders, I'm excited to join Harris in the fight for our future.
Please welcome Florida Representative Maxwell Frost.
I'm Maxwell at Hundrel Frost, and I'm proud to be the first member of my generation in
Congress.
I'm also proud to represent Central Florida.
You might expect me to talk about how climate change will impact our future, but as a Floridian,
as a Florida man, I'm here to tell you that the climate crisis isn't some far off threat.
It is here.
Donald Trump and J.D. Vance think they can divide us by saying this crisis is some type
of hoax, but I've walked the streets of communities that have been forced to rebuild after hurricane
flooding destroyed their homes.
I've heard the stories of immigrant farm workers made the work and hoard conditions exacerbated
by this crisis.
And I felt the scorching record heat and know that climate change can sometimes feel
like an unstoppable force, but with our movement and with organizing and an administration
that cares, we are making progress.
Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have proven that tackling this crisis creates jobs, that investing
in clean energy protects our health, and that investing in mass public transit builds
strong communities.
And we must always remember that peace is essential to our climate and war destroys our
environment.
This election is about every drop of water that we consume and every breath we breathe.
Making the climate crisis is patriotic.
And unlike Donald Trump, our patriotism is more than some damn slogan on a hat.
It's about actually giving a damn about the people who live in this country.
Because when you love somebody, you want them to have clean air.
When you love somebody, you want them to have safe drinking water.
And when you love somebody, you want them to have a dignified job.
And so America, it's simple.
Let's get to work and elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for our planet, for our future,
for our present, and for our people.
God bless.
Ladies and gentlemen, if y'all are ready to say that, I'm Vice President and keep
her in the White House, let me hear you make some noise.
Everybody's here, let me see, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say,
yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah,
and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they
say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say,
yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah,
and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they
say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say,
yeah, and they say, they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say,
yeah, and they say, okay, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah, and they say, yeah,
What a great honor it was to represent Team USA and go out there and win that gold medal
for the Olympics this summer and that unity on and off the court reminded us all that
together we can do all things and continue to inspire the world.
That's why I believe that Kamala as president could bring that unity back and continue to
move our country forward.
This is about preserving hope and belief in our country, making sure families can be
taken care of during their most precious times.
I got to visit Kamala with my team in the White House last year and I can tell you one
thing I knew then and I definitely know now, the Oval Office in suits of wealth.
Some of the words of Michelle Obama, do something.
Go vote.
Be active.
Let's show out in November like never before.
It's been an honor for me to represent our country.
It's an honor to support Kamala so let's all do our part.
God bless.
Please welcome Democratic nominee for U.S. Congress in Alabama, Shamari figures.
Good evening America and hello sweet home Alabama.
I am running for Alabama's second congressional district.
This is the district that gave America the Tuskegee Airmen.
Rosa Parks, Fred Gray, and it is the birthplace of the civil rights movement in Montgomery
Alabama.
And of course, this district is home to miss the good trouble himself, Congressman John
Lewis.
Look, my pathway to this stage was paid by a legacy of fighters.
That include my mother, Alabama state senator David figures who is here at her 11th DNC.
And it also includes my father, my late father, Michael figures, who is also a state senator
and civil rights lawyer who sued the Klan into bankruptcy.
Listen, all of America, all of us, all of us owe a debt to courageous freedom fighters,
those known and unknown, a debt that could never be repaid.
But what we can do is ensure that the work of those fighters who came before us continues
and that our sacred right to vote is always protected.
Kamala Harris gets this.
She's working to protect our freedoms every single day.
And that's why she will sign into law that John Robert Lewis voting rights act once it
is introduced again by Congresswoman Terry Sewell.
Listen, America, a California poet named Kendrick Lamar recently reminded us that sometimes
we got to pop out and show them.
Well, America is time we pop out and vote.
This time we pop out from California to Alabama and all across America.
And we show them that we are not going back.
We are going forward and we are going forward with Kamala Harris as the next president
of the United States of America.
Thank you.
God bless you.
Roll tide.
Let's go win this thing.
As I close out my segment tonight, I got to send a quick message, Madrasita Carida.
I love you.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walls understand what everyday Americans are going through because
unlike Donald Trump, they actually grew up in families where every dollar mattered,
where everything was earned and nothing was handed to them.
Our next speaker knows something about that too.
Please welcome my dear friend, my our fellow Texan, our next senator, representative Colin
Allred.
All right.
Hey, everybody.
I'm Colin Allred.
A congressman from Dallas, dad to two perfect little boys.
And this November, I'm going to beat Ted Cruz.
And I'm so proud to be here to support our next president, Kamala Harris.
You know, like Kamala, I was raised by a single mom.
Mom was a public school teacher who often worked two jobs to make ends meet.
So when we talk about lowering costs, I think about the times when we went to the grocery
store when I was growing up and swiped the debit card and sent a little prayer.
But my mom and my community in Texas gave me a chance to chase my version of the American
dream.
I played football at Baylor and in the NFL before becoming a civil rights lawyer and
representing my hometown in Congress.
And now I'm the guy who's going to turn Texas's Senate seat blue.
You know, in the NFL, we had a turn for guys like Donald Trump and my opponent, Ted Cruz.
Me guys, you know the type, talk a big game, only care about themselves.
But you don't want to be stuck with them at a barbecue.
The truth is America has never been about me.
As President Obama said, the single most powerful word in our democracy is the word we.
We the people.
We shall overcome.
Yes, we can.
And we've got a message for the me guys.
We is more powerful than me.
We will protect, restore reproductive freedom.
We will secure the border.
We will protect Medicare and Social Security.
And we'll turn the page and write a new chapter for this country.
And let's Kamala Harris be the next president and beat Ted Cruz.
Thank you all so much.
God bless you.
And may God bless Texas.
Thank you.
I'm Anya Cook.
This is my husband, Derek, and our daughter, Anya.
Two years ago, a miscarriage nearly killed me.
At 16 weeks, my doctors told me to prepare for a stillbirth.
I needed care.
But my state's abortion restrictions kept it from me.
I miscarried in a bathroom.
I'll never forget my husband's face as he tried to stop the bleeding, trying to do
what doctors should have been doing.
When I reached the hospital, I'd lost nearly half the blood in my body.
I can't change the past, but I can, we can, choose a different future.
I'm Craig Sicknick, and this is my mother, Gladys.
My brother was a US Capitol police officer, Brian Sicknick, a hero who died after defending
our country on January 6th.
My family knows how dangerous Trump is.
The inside of the crowd, while my brother and his fellow officers, were putting their
lives at risk.
We need a real leader, not an autocrat who was stuck in the past.
Brian, we miss you every day.
I'm Gail DuBour.
I've had Type 1 diabetes since I was 11.
Stressing about insulin cost has been a constant in my life.
President Biden and Vice President Harris have moved mountains to help.
Medicare can finally negotiate prescription drug prices.
One is capped at $35 for Medicare recipients.
And when elected, Kamala Harris plans to extend that cap to the rest of us.
That's the future I want.
That's the future I am voting for.
I'm Lonnie Romero, owner and CEO of Mothership Coffee in Las Vegas.
I put in work to build my business.
When COVID hit, this administration support kept us moving.
I hired staff and we grew.
We've more than doubled in size since the pandemic, and it's just not us.
Over the last four years, 19 million new business applications have been filed.
By Trump, I grew up in Queens, but unlike him, I built my business with grit.
That's my story.
That's the American story.
Let's turn the page on Trump.
I'm Eric Fitz, and these are my sons, Christian and Carter.
I always try to set an example for my boys to teach them compassion, accountability,
and resilience.
I want those values to be reflected in our leaders.
I don't want to have to turn off the TV because our president is lobbying insults or telling
lives.
I'm tired of all of the hate.
It's time to move forward, together, and build a country our kids can be proud of.
Please welcome the Bull's official drumline, Chicago's own Pac Drumline.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go,

24 years old
Hey, it's your song for ya.
Look out.
It's ain't Texas.
You know, hold on.
There's no beer cards down, down, down, down.
Say it!
Like a Lexus.
You know your keys are fast.
Stick around, around, around, around, around.
Nice and loud.
Now be dandy by case, old days.
But you can close one sugar on me honey too.
It's a real life, but you're in a real life, oh, down, down.
Come take it to the floor now.
There's that tornado.
There's a tornado in my city.
I'm a city like this.
The basement.
I ain't pretty.
I'm pretty.
You're weak.
Why is he always surviving.
It's survival.
A break of kisses with redemption by some time.
Yeah.
Ooh.
One step to the right.
We headed to the dive bar.
Why are we always growing nice?
Ooh, run me to the left
And spend me in the middle for you
I can't read my name
This ain't taxes
Ain't no holding
Hey, they are cars
Down, down, down
So talk your lattice
Oh, throw your keys out
Hey, stick around, round, round, round, round, round
One more turn, that's enough
If I think so, dance with you
Come close, one should hold me honey, too
It's a real lie, but can't a real lie
Hold down, don't be an anchor
Take it easy and take it easy
If you've been with me all four days
Let me see you make some noise right now
And if this is your first convention
Let me hear you make some noise
I was born in a small town
And I need a small town
Every day I'm a small town
Those small communities
All my friends are small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is a small town
To pass me love and do the things
Hey
It's kitty to the small town
Talk to fear Jesus in a small town
Used to dig dream in that small town
Another foreign romantic has made
I've seen it all in the small town
Have myself a ball in a small town
Made in L.A. down right to this small town
That small town just like me
Hold down this town
No, I cannot forget
From what is that I come from
And I'm there to be no love me
Yeah, I told me myself
In this small town
And people at me just what I want to be
Yeah, I'm there to be no love me
One more time
Make some noise if you're having a great time
With me in Chicago
On the door that holds the throne
I've been looking for the man that leads me home
I've been stumbling on good hearts
To understand the love of good and tender
This is going dry as a ball
We take care of our own
And we say
We take care of our own
One more way
Because if you're proud of your country
And you're ready to say
Madam VP and keep her in the White House
Make some noise
Just cover it up now
Born in the U.S.A.
Sing it!
Born in the U.S.A.
Wow!
Born in the U.S.A.
Got it a little hot and jammed
So it blew out the rim of my hand
To send me up to a fireman
To don't kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.A.
Come back home to the refinery
Out of France
One of them was done to me
Went down a single B.A.
Man and he said
Son, don't you harm us then now
I can't remember
Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you
Enjoyed yourself with me
My name is D.J.
Metro from Chicago
Thank you for having me
Here we go
Oh
Superhighway
Coast to coast
Easy to get anywhere
On the tracks calling in
Overload
To slap behind the wheel
