00:00to console survivors of crime, to remind them no one should be made to fight alone.
00:08We are all in this together.
00:14And every day, in the courtroom, I stood proudly before a judge and I said five words.
00:25I accept your nomination to be President of the United States of America.
00:34Those who battled in the courtroom to make real the promise of America.
00:40So at a young age, I decided I wanted to do that work.
00:44I wanted to be a lawyer.
00:47And when it came time to choose the type of law I would pursue, I reflected on a pivotal
00:53moment in my life.
00:56You see, when I was in high school, I started to notice something about my best friend Wanda.
01:02She was sad at school.
01:05And there were times she didn't want to go home.
01:08So one day I asked if everything was all right.
01:12And she confided in me that she was being sexually abused by her stepfather.
01:17And I immediately told her she had to come stay with us.
01:21And she did.
01:23This is one of the reasons I became a prosecutor, to protect people like Wanda, because I believe
01:32everyone has a right to safety, to dignity, and to justice.
01:39As a prosecutor, when I had a case, I charged it not in the name of the victim, but in the
01:52name of the people, for a simple reason.
01:57In our system of justice, a harm against any one of us is a harm against all of us.
02:10And I would often explain this to console survivors of crime, to remind them no one
02:20should be made to fight alone.
02:22We are all in this together.
02:28And every day, in the courtroom, I stood proudly before a judge, and I said five words.
02:38Kamala Harris for the people.
02:46And to be clear, and to be clear my entire career, I've only had one client, the people.
03:00And so, on behalf of the people, on behalf of every American, regardless of party, race,
03:12gender, or the language a grandmother speaks, on behalf of my mother, and everyone who has
03:22ever set out on their own unlikely journey, on behalf of Americans like the people I grew
03:32up with, people who work hard, chase their dreams, and look out for one another, on behalf
03:41of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on Earth, I accept
03:52your nomination to be President of the United States of America.
