What were some of Kamala Harris's notable actions as California's Attorney General?

As California's Attorney General, Kamala Harris fought against the death penalty and took on big banks following the 2008 housing crisis, securing $18 billion in relief for California homeowners. She also won a billion dollars for victims of predatory for-profit universities, specifically Corinthian Colleges that took advantage of Californians seeking to achieve the American dream. Perhaps her most nationally recognized moment came when she directed the clerk of Los Angeles to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples during the contentious debate around Proposition 8, which challenged the legality of gay marriage. These actions demonstrated her commitment to criminal justice reform, consumer protection, and civil rights.
