INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A local bookstore and advocacy group are joining forces to make an impact.
The Indianapolis Liberation Center is hosting a pop-up event at Tomorrow Bookstore on Massachusetts Avenue Saturday to raise awareness and funds for vital community efforts.
This event is about more than selling merchandise. It’s about bringing people together to support marginalized communities and create real change in Indianapolis.
Visitors at Saturday’s event on Mass Ave can browse merchandise designed to inspire and inform people about LGBTQ+ liberation, women’s rights, and other social justice issues.

“We’re going to be coming in and we’re going to have a table set up where we’ll do volunteer intakes, sell some of our books, shirts, posters, and things like that, and do some of the outreach with the community to talk about getting involved and volunteering at the center,” said Destiny Glover, general coordinator at the Indianapolis Liberation Center.
It aims to be a safe space for participants to sign up for any services they may need from non-profit community partners such as IOC Watch, a prison re-entry group, Arte Mexicano en Indiana, an art gallery that highlights marginalized artists, and Hope Packages, that provides food for struggling communities in Indiana.
“We’re just kind of helping them make sure they’re getting their needs met,” Glover said. “Healthcare, visitation, anything that they may need from inside and outside prison. And also helping that lower class that’s struggling with homelessness.”
As Glover sees it, the event is a great example of how community partnerships can fuel meaningful activism.
“A lot of the time we’ve noticed that while there are a lot of people fighting individual fights and pockets of struggle,” Glover said. “Oftentimes, when we come together and connect whatever the commonalities are of the struggles, we have a lot more power to get things done, and we can really build a stronger community to fight with.”

All of the proceeds from the sales will go toward funding the Indianapolis Liberation Center.
“Just making sure that we have the resources and things like that to put on and really help the community, and keep the lights on here,” Glover said.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT:
Partly to mostly cloudy. Chance of a few showers & storms. Lows in the low to mid 60s.
THURSDAY:
Variably cloudy. Chance of a few showers & storms. Highs in the lower 80s.
THURSDAY NIGHT – FRIDAY:
Scattered rain & storms are looking more likely. Some heavy rain is possible and early projections suggest another 1-3” could fall across parts of Central and Southern Indiana. We’ll continue to monitor for some severe weather potential, but as of Tuesday afternoon no part of Indiana is in an official outlook from the Storm Prediction Center. Temperatures may only be in the upper 70s on Friday if we end up with more clouds and rain/storms.
WEEKEND:
Warm temperatures in the 80s are on track along with a chance for a few showers & storms both days. Humidity levels will be rising and the heat index by Sunday afternoon could be well into the 90s.
NEXT WEEK:

A hot and humid weather pattern is likely going to establish itself again over the Great Lakes region. While there could be a few stray storms from time to time and perhaps even a storm complex or two rolling in from the west, the main storyline will involve hot & muggy air. Highs are expected to push into the lower 90s with heat indices in the 100 to 105 range.
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — We’re in for a much better Tuesday, after all of the recent wet weather. High pressure is bringing us sunshine and comfortable temperatures today, but don’t get too used to it—rain and storms are heading back our way by Wednesday night, and we’re tracking a flooding threat heading into the weekend.
Today:
Finally, a day to enjoy! High pressure is firmly in control, giving us plenty of sunshine and comfortable conditions.
Highs today will be pleasant, ranging from the mid-70s across northern Indiana to around 80 degrees in the south.
Tonight:
Clear skies continue with lows dropping into the mid-50s to lower 60s.

Wednesday:
Another nice day as high pressure continues to dominate. We’ll see plenty of sunshine with highs climbing into the low to mid-80s. Humidity will remain low, making it feel comfortable despite the warmer temperatures.
Wednesday Night into Thursday: Heavy Rain Threat
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop Wednesday night as moisture increases significantly. There will be much more moisture in the atmosphere by the evening hours, which opens the door for heavy downpours overnight.
Thursday should be mostly dry during the day as weak ridging builds in behind the overnight activity. However, another round of storms could develop late Thursday ahead of a warm front moving in.
Thursday Night through the Weekend: More Heavy Rain
A storm system will move through Thursday night, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall and thunderstorms. Rainfall totals could exceed 2 inches in many locations, raising flash flooding concerns.
The big concern is training storms. When storms repeatedly move over the same areas, rainfall totals can quickly add up, leading to localized ponding and minor flooding. Low-lying areas, poor drainage spots, and areas near creeks and streams will be most vulnerable.
Sunday and Beyond: Heat and Humidity Return
Rain and storms will finally push northeast of the area by Sunday, giving us a break. But the break from rain comes with a price—heat and humidity.
By Sunday, high humidity and southerly breezes will boost afternoon temperatures near 90 degrees. Heat indices could approach mid- to upper 90sby early next week.
