to end homelessness libraries how many are filling the void where the federal local governments have stepped away and I don't even feel like I'm 45 right now because like when you're learning when

are fanned out across the country cupping those stories and much more for us tonight but we do begin with the verdict in the trial of five members of the far right group The Proud boys it's the most consequential case stemming from the January 6th Siege of the capital the group's former leader Enrique tario and three of his lieutenants all convicted of seditious conspiracy for plotting to attack the capital to keep Donald Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election that was the most serious charge but the four also face other felonies seditious conspiracy alone carries a charge of 20 years a fifth member of the group was convicted on lesser crimes prosecutors used thousands of text messages from encrypted conversations this conviction follows that of members of another far great group The Oath Keepers including its leader Stuart Rhodes or chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas leads us off [Applause] a jury convicting the King the charge of this plot to use Force to keep Donald Trump in power the evidence presented at trial detailed the extent of the violence at the Capitol on January 6th and the central role these defendants played in setting into motion the unlawful events of that day prosecutors laying out a mountain of evidence including thousands of texts and videos like these showing that Cowboys were among the first to break through those metal barriers protecting the capital the government proved Ethan Nordeen Joseph Biggs Zachary reel and the group's Chief Enrique tario saw themselves as Donald Trump's Army thirsting for violence and organizing for Action Enrique tario had been barred from the nation's capital that day but on the eve of the Insurrection Terrier was seen meeting with the leaders of The Oath Keepers in an underground parking garage in Washington prosecutors say the next day he orchestrated the attack from afar texting his fellow proud boys at the height of the violence telling them don't expletive leave jury today also convicting a key foot soldier proud boy Dominic pizzola was seen in that Infamous video using a stolen police Shield to smash through a window pizola found guilty of a number of felonies including obstructing a congressional proceeding and assaulting officers but acquitted on seditious conspiracy the proud boys were tied to Donald Trump long before January 6. and their ranks only surged after Trump called them out by name at a debate stand back and stand by a trial the group portrayed themselves as simply hard drinkers with no master plan who got swept up in the moment attorneys for the defendants instead blamed Trump pointing to his own words that day we fight like hell and if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore words that have certainly come back to haunt some peer Thomas joins us now from Washington Pier how long could the members of The Proud boys go to prison for well Lindsay they face potentially decades in prison and they joined the leaders of The Oath Keepers who were convicted of seditious conspiracy last fall for their role on January 6th so a long prison turn potentially Pierre Thomas Force thanks so much Pierre in Atlanta the suspect who opened

homeless man in the first attack and a UC Davis Senior in the second on Monday a woman was critically injured but survived when she was stabbed through her tent at a homeless encampment Dominguez was a UC Davis student until just last week police say they found a large knife when they made the arrest now to a new investigation into the NFL with the attorneys General from New York and California announcing today that they have launched a joint probe examining the workplace culture of the league as part of the investigation the AG subpoenaed the NFL seeking information regarding allegations of gender disparities in compensation harassment retaliation and gender and race discrimination and joining us now is California attorney general Rob bonta who's joined New York's attorney general in bringing this investigation thank you so much for your time tonight so New York and California are home to more than a thousand NFL employees explain your thinking on why this sort of Investigation is needed at this moment and your time frame for your probe the investigation is needed to protect Californians and other NFL employees from potential discrimination the allegations that we've seen that are being consistent over a number of years paints a picture that is very concerning and very disturbing about the work environment at the NFL takes a picture of discrimination based on race and gender harassment retaliation pay and equity and so we're issuing subpoenas to get information from the NFL to further analyze and and study and evaluate those allegations and where we asked to receive documents by early July the AP reports that the league said that it would cooperate with the investigation but said in a statement I'll quote here these allegations are entirely inconsistent with the NFL's values and practices the NFL offices are places where employees of all genders races and backgrounds Thrive we do not tolerate discrimination in any form do you believe that you might uncover information that will dispute that yes the allegations multiple allegations over many years dispute that I'm pleased that they are committed to cooperating I'm pleased that they have articulated values that are consistent but with what we would like to see but um action speeds speaks louder than words we need to see the action employees passed in present uh continue to make allegations of discrimination and from where we stand they have not been addressed and so we're going to dig in and see we're going to see what they've done or haven't done as you're well aware Congress has held hearings and issued reports on the NFL's workplace in recent years including public testimony from several former female employees who allege to hostile work environment what do you believe that your investigation might be able to uncover that Congress was not able to commercial instead as that are abroad and get at the heart of the allegations not just that were made in Congress but that were revealed in news articles like the New York Times investigative report like the different lawsuits that have been initiated and brought in forward across uh the country we um feel that the tools that we have are able to fully uncover the full um range of potential discrimination that may exist in the NFL so we're gonna uh heavily scrutinize the NFL's practices procedures and work environment we're going to look closely uh and turn all the stones and see what's there and do a thorough review that the employees of the NFL deserve that the people of California deserve that the people of New York deserve that um no entity institution or Corporation no matter how big they are how powerful or how popular um is above the law and must comply with our laws including laws to create work environments free discrimination lastly what do you hope comes out of this and what do you think that the fans of the NFL should think about this investigation I hope you had a fair the investigation uncovers discrimination that what comes out of this is an end to the Discrimination change practices reform a new culture uh a inclusive environment that does not retaliate against employees that it does not provide a hostile work environment that doesn't harass um uh that is not a boys club if that's what we find to be true based on our investigation the allegations suggest that all those things are present but we'll determine for ourselves we're not prejudging we're not predetermining uh but we're looking for discrimination food workplaces in all um uh work uh environments including the one that the NFL provides for its employees there might also be the possibility of financial penalties California attorney general Rob onto me thank you so much for your time really appreciate you coming on the show thanks for having me now to new reporting on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas after Pro publica unveiled Thomas accepted at least 150 thousand dollars in private school tuition for his Grand nephew who he was Raising as a son this is from the same GOP Mega donor who gifted him vacations and who bought Thomas's mother's home none of those gifts were disclosed and it's leading ethics Watchdogs to cry foul here's ABC's Chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Carl New Revelations today that billionaire Republican Mega donor Harlan Crowe paid for the private school tuition of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's Grand nephew who the Justice raised as a son no comment today from Justice Thomas who has called Crow a dear friend but the billionaire did acknowledge paying the tuition saying he has quote been passionate about the importance of quality education and giving back to those less fortunate especially at-risk youth pro-publica says they've uncovered evidence Crow paid for tuition at two different private schools and while the exact amount is unknown the cost of one of the schools was six thousand dollars a month Thomas did not reveal any of this in his financial disclosure reports this comes after propublica reported that the same billionaire donor took Thomas and his wife on lavish vacations including travel on a private jet and a super yacht Thomas didn't disclose those either or the fact that Mr Crowe also bought Tom Thomas's mother's house the reports have prompted Democrats to call for new Supreme Court ethics rules the reputation of the Supreme Court is at stake here other justices have faced ethics questions Justice Sonia Sotomayor for example was criticized for not recusing herself from a case involving a publisher that paid her over three million dollars to write her books unlike Thomas however Sotomayor disclosed that income and even though some Republicans say Thomas is being unfairly singled out there is a rare bipartisan agreement on one thing those fact patterns should be something that the Supreme Court should look at and figure out what they should do to update their ethics Jonathan Carl joins us now from Washington John how are the justices responding to the scrutiny and if there should be any new rules policing them well just last week the justices all nine of them liberal and conservative signed a rare joint statement making it clear that they believe that it should be up to the court itself to police its ethics not to Congress or any other entity so the justices says basically leave it up to them they'll take care of it themselves they'll police themselves yes precisely Jonathan Carl from the Supreme Court for us thanks so much John thank you Lindsay

story world news now and America this morning America's number one early morning news today does feel a little different early mornings on ABC News live all right here we go you ready let's do it yes it's the show America wants and America needs right now this is what would you do let's go how are you yeah so what will you be watching Saturdays on ABC News live what would you do hey I guess I just

housing in tonight's Prime Focus we're taking you to one of the last free public spaces in the United States that acts as a refuge for those seeking shelter a Lifeline to internet access and technology and a place to make critical connections with people who can help at the Forefront of our country's homelessness crisis is the public library and their workers who are Bridging the Gap for so many ABC's Jacqueline Lee shows us how [Music] Mary [Music] just another Library filled with generations of stories a sanctuary for silence [Music] this one sits on the outskirts of Philadelphia in Delaware County Pennsylvania this building is a critical Lifeline for some how are you good haven't seen you in a while we are everything to everybody we are a place for the children to come after school so it becomes a hangout spot in our teen area for these seniors it was a place where somebody can help them load their phone for the people that are unhoused to come near to use our free Wi-Fi our electricity to get heat air conditioning of course we have books you know if you try breaking bread at 107 a long Lane but there is more here than just chapters on pages it tells the story of Refuge for those with nowhere to go you can only go near from 7 A.M to 7 P.M on the front lines are people like Donna Fontaine it's first come first serve so you need to be over there you're welcome it happened so often that I forget it happens like I'm just so used to dealing with it Donna is the branch manager here in Upper Darby she has become a familiar face to the dozens of people that walk through the doors of the municipal Branch Library each day many of them turning to her in their most desperate times do you feel like you are on the front lines of the homelessness crisis in America yes um we're close to Philadelphia and we're also close to two shelters in our area so we see a lot of them come in some we see for years and years some will see periodically the public library has become one of the last free resources left in the United States the access to Internet Technologies books even electricity that libraries provide are essential for all patrons but are particularly life-changing for those experiencing extreme poverty and homelessness when you got into this industry did you ever expect this no but it's one of the reasons I stayed I did not expect it I didn't realize the ramifications of so many people being on the house that they would need resources like this we see an influx of people all the time and they may be on house for three six months and they'll move on to something else but we gave them sometimes the tools and the resources and the opportunity to apply for the housing and apply for the jobs to be able to move on to the next step we might slide our belongings back here so we're not bringing all that baggage with us and having a look maybe we shaved back here before we got ourselves together Shawn wood lives this reality every day using the tight quarters behind the building here's my stuff right here he stashes the few belongings he has to his name we slept back here we ate back here we prayed back here times where things was just too rough for us so one of us has an overwhelming uh situation we've came back here and prayed for each other back here the library is at times his only home there is a few tables that are normally out here one and then there'll be one over here so this is where I've actually stayed Sean has been unhoused since 2017 and this library has become his Safe Haven not only an escape from the harsh weather but providing him important resources like free Wi-Fi to apply for housing and jobs uh what you've been up to and introducing him to people who would become instrumental lifelines he remembers the moment he met Miss Donna would you say she changed her life definitely I'm so thankful for meeting her and I'm just so grateful for the way that she embraced me and the things that she's a show thanks to her yeah I used one of those places to get washed and dressed today they gave me these sneakers I didn't even have any nice sneakers to wear they gave me these sneakers today [Music] libraries are the safe stigma-free place where people can go with no resources at all Dr Beth Waller is director of the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina and studies the importance of libraries in communities we see consistently that the top areas of Patron need that they're experiencing are homelessness and housing instability mental health problems and substance use in her research she noticed an alarming Trend during and after the covid-19 pandemic it left some of the country's most vulnerable population with nowhere to go we saw even more people coming to their Library who really were falling through the cracks in other places and needed help and needed resources and Library staff facing the brunt of growing psychosocial needs libraries are on the front line of homelessness across our country right now they see the gaps that exist in every Community because those are the populations that are coming in their doors much for coming here for our training day enter Ryan down he hopes to provide solutions to these challenges so I've spent most of my career running a large homeless shelter outside of Chicago this company focuses on de-escalation training for Library staff who interact with individuals experiencing homelessness what are some of the key things that you try to teach them when you do these trainings a lot of it comes back to empathy and so a lot of it's helping someone from the middle class to understand someone who's who's experiencing very very deep poverty and then you combine that with here's the skills to to work with someone who might have experienced profound trauma or traumatic brain injury or suffering from schizophrenia and so it's that combination of empathy combined with skills that's really really the game changer you're wondering after working at home shelters at the incredible need for training on how to interact with those dealing with hardships they don't fit any of our stereotypes of homelessness here in Upper Darby Library staff are learning the proper ways to de-escalate potential situations dowd's trainings are used by over 2 000 organizations in eight different countries do you think that's all in the approach when you know how to work with someone how to de-escalate conflict how to help somebody through some sort of trauma or whatnot in a way that that leaves them some dignity everybody wins humor no humor during conflict doesn't work Houston Public Libraries so a very large library in a very Urban core I think it was 550 of their staff take the training and they came back later and they said our problematic Behavior dropped by 80 percent yeah that's phenomenal to meet the needs of the public the president of the American Library Association says libraries need their own needs met that comes in the form of funding and resources on the local level we've been seeing a lot of budget cuts to libraries communities suffer because the library is not open as many hours there are not as many books and movies and resources available to our communities and there aren't enough Library workers to provide the services that our communities need at its core libraries are about Connections connecting with information with stories both new and old and for Donna and those who frequent the municipal Branch it's about connecting with each other I've always volunteered in some capacity and I've realized that working with the unhoused that they're some of the smartest kindest people and to recognize that this may be your next millionaire your doctor just giving them the access to what they need makes a difference [Music] our thanks to the people like Donna and our thanks to Jacqueline for bringing us that still much more to get to coming up chilling chilling remastered and armed
