cnbc's seema mody on the top story, covering the dueling boycotts from atlanta tonight. seema, whole countries talking about georgia's voting law what are you hearing from the actual voters there? >> reporter: shep, here in atlanta, we found mixed opinions, but many expressing a sense of frustration, saying the new law does restrict voting >> it's been very discouraging, you know i mean especially, you know, after we did all we did, you know, with the past elections and everything like that. >> i think it's awful. i think it's a black eye for the state. i think that the only reason they did it was to get people not to vote. it's specific in terms of who it's trying to disinfranchise. >> to be honest, it really sounds like it's another set of jim crow, not to be like that, but to limit the people's voice. i don't think that's right >> reporter: others were in favor of this law, shep, or said that boycotts do not work. meantime, democrats here in georgia including both senators say boycotts will hurt georgia's economy that is still reeling from the effect of the pandemic.

. >> understandable emotion there in atlanta, and we saw and heard similar things across the u.s. after the verdicts in the trial of derek chauvin. a jury on tuesday found the former minneapolis police officer guilty of all three charges against him, including murder in george floyd's death. after that, this group gathered at the georgia capitol next to a mural of floyd. earlier george floyd's brother and his family's attorney spoke with cnn's don lemon about their satisfaction with the verdict and the relief that they felt. >> oh, man, it was -- it was just so much of a relief, don. just constant nights of me just being up constantly getting three and four hours of sleep. but today i won't get that time to sleep because i'm going to stay up and celebrate because to me, this is a day of celebration. i'm happy, man. i'm really happy. >> i want to take you back to the courtroom if you will allow me because this verdict, as you know, was historic. what was it like for you to be there? >> oh, it was one of the times that i actually panicked. i was walking back and forth, pacing back a

. >> i think in what happened since the atlanta killing is the conversation that has been much broader and much more outspoken. i'm interested in your thoughts about whether you think that there is change going on right now. generationally as to whether you think there is a change going on. >> there is undoubtedly a change going on right now. younger asian american pacific islanders, i have noted, feel they are entitled to the constitutional rights afforded to all americans. there has been a theme of first-generation immigrants feeling like they need to assimilate and they can't speak up because they just want to survive in a new country, in a new world. that generational split has helped not only -- held not only because of people speaking up but social media, democratizing access to resources and the idea that we are not alone. sara: i guess there has been a lot of conversation about hate crimes and how we define that. i wanted to turn to that, because you have a lot of experience with legislation and passing laws to help victims of sexual assault. i'm interested in your thoughts abo

the people that are hurt are the working class people of atlanta, georgia. and that's why major league baseball moved too quickly. they should have listened to stacey abrams. they have have invited stacey abrams in. they should have invited raph warknock in. instead of being swept away by some social media mob. if they talked to stacey abrams, be in a lot better position than they are, willie. >> yeah. let's be clear, this is not a defense of the law in georgia. mika is absolutely right. the entire law is based on a lie that we need to tighten up our elections, elections that court after court after court after election security official and federal election official said was the most secure in the history of our country. so it's a lie that we needed to make our elections tighter and more efficient. the truth is, though, that this is hurting eugene scott. a lot of people as say see abrams said wish we could focus on the legislation and not pull the game out of a town that really needed this money, needed this injection of support for people around atlanta wh

>> reporter: the atlanta community food bank has enough food to feed 2,000 households. they are moving cars through as quickly as they can and filling the back of the trucks, whatever it may be, with different food items. they have been doing this for a good hour and a half now. the lines are starting to let up a little bit. people lined up a good two hours or so before this even opened to get food. one of the first questions i asked one of the organizers of this food drive, have you seen the numbers drop in months? it feels like things are starting to get a little more hopeful in the pandemic. she says, no, their numbers have stayed the same consistent throughout the pandemic. they are still seeing high numbers of families needing to come and get food. we spoke to one woman who was waiting in line this morning. things have been so hard and without a food drive like this, her family might not be able to eat. listen here. is this something you thought that you would need to do, be in a food line? >> no. not at all. >> reporter: how hard is it to say, yeah, i need a littl
