The DNC made history on Tuesday night, officially minting Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee for president of the United States. With Clinton set to make her acceptance speech on Thursday, the evening was dedicated to the theme “Fights of Her Life: Kids and Families,” highlighting Clinton’s dedication to supporting the rights, needs, and dreams of families, women, and children — particularly those who have been left behind.

And the stars were certainly behind Clinton all night as many of them shared their support of her, the causes they believe in, and their common dislike of Donald Trump. Here are the celeb highlights from night two of the DNC:

Elizabeth Banks makes epic Trump-esque entrance

The evening’s host, Elizabeth Banks, took to the stage amid the soaring chorus of Queen’s “We Are the Champions,” seemingly bumbling her way around in the same cone of light that enveloped Trump at last week’s RNC in a beautiful send-up of what was an utterly bizarre Trumpian moment.

“You know I don’t usually say this about Donald Trump, but that was over the top. I just confirmed it now,” Banks joked. “The Trump campaign is so hard up for money, I bought that fog machine on eBay for 30 bucks. I don’t feel good about it.”

But she definitely felt good about continuing to rib Trump, adding, “I’m Elizabeth Banks. Some of you know me from The Hunger Games in which I play Effie Trinket, a cruel, out-of-touch reality TV star who wears insane wigs while delivering long-winded speeches to a violent dystopia. So when I tuned into Cleveland last week, I was like, ah, hey, that’s my act!”

But then the actress got serious, discussing the importance of the next election and what it means for the country. Banks shared the struggles of her father, a Vietnam Veteran who became a factory worker, and her mother, who worked at a library and a local bank, as the two strived to provide for their family.

“They worked hard. They struggled. Because like millions of American parents, they wanted to give their kids — four of us — a good life filled with boundless opportunities,” Banks said. “And it’s because of what Democrats built — good public schools, affordable health care, help in the hardest times — that they were able to do that.”

Banks then recounted how she found herself in Philadelphia, where she went to school at the University of Pennsylvania with the help of scholarships and financial aid, and eventually met her husband, Max.

“I will never forget that day in 1992 when we went on a big, romantic date — a rally for Bill Clinton,” she shared. “And it was there that I learned something really important about show business: The headliner should always watch out for someone stealing the show. Hillary Clinton rocked my world. A smart, committed, successful woman! And not for her own benefit, but a fighter for women and children, cops and first responders, health care and girls around the world … that’s Hillary Clinton. And that is what tonight is all about.”

Hear, hear!

Tony Goldwyn introduces mothers who have lost children to gun and police violence

President Fitz, er, Scandal star Tony Goldwyn strode to the podium to share more about his work with the Innocence Project, and how he strives to fight for the wrongfully convicted and their desire to spare others from the suffering they experienced. But it was his introduction to what he called the “mothers of the movement” — including the mothers of Sandra Bland, Trayvon Martin, and Eric Garner — that brought the house down.

“I am proud tonight to introduce a group of women profoundly impacted by injustice and violence. Who have turned their pain into power, and their outrage into action. They are the mothers of the movement,” Goldwyn told the crowd, and was greeted with raucous cheers.

“They understand that we must reach out to each other because of our diversity, because we are stronger together,” he continued. “You know, Hillary says we can’t hide from these hard truths about race and justice in America. We have to name them, and own them, and then change them. That’s what she’ll do as president. And the mothers of the movement prove that one life at a time, one mother at a time, we can change the world.”

This led to a video presentation of women who had lost their children to violence, showing Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton, Bland’s mother Geneva Reed-Veal, and Garner’s mother Gwen Carr among others, meeting with Clinton to discuss how to create change. When one asked what they could do, Clinton told her, “Well, I think you can continue to speak out, but it will be more effective if you do somehow band together so that it’s a constant drumbeat. As to say, look, we are citizens, we are mothers, we lost children, this is not only wrong, this is unacceptable, and here are the things that need to happen to try to prevent this from ever happening again.”
