Place for people to file complaints or provide reports about police activity before and during the Convention;
Location for approved members of the media to file stories during the Convention.
In the weeks leading up to the Convention, the NYCLU Protecting Protest Storefront generally will be open 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Starting on Thursday, August 26, the Storefront will be open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
