100% of profits from the Island Power Tee support Our Islands Our Home, a Torres Strait Islander-led climate justice movement.
King tides, erosion, inundation and coral bleaching are already threatening the homes and cultures of Torres Strait Islanders. But we are not just facing the crisis. We are leading the response.
From the frontlines of the climate crisis, we are building power through culture, community and story.
When you wear this tee, you carry that power with you. You’re supporting Torres Strait Islander communities fighting to protect their island homes, their sea Country, and their future.
Our movement was born from the leadership of the Torres Strait 8, who in 2022 made history by winning a landmark UN human rights case against the Australian Government for failing to act on climate change. Their fight continues and we are carrying it forward.

This product is Ally Friendly.
Ally friendly merch is for everyone.
When we see non-Indigenous people wearing our designs, we feel proud that they are repping our merch and culture.
When we see Aboriginal designs in the world, it means Indigenous people are not invisible in the landscape.
But, purchasing from Aboriginal brands, businesses and wearing Indigenous designs alone is surface-level allyship. There needs to be more commitment than just buying from Aboriginal brands and businesses.
Wearing Aboriginal design is not dismantling a system that oppresses Indigenous people. Allies need to do more and learn more. Wearing our tees is a great starting point. We have equipped you with our merch and some of the educational content to go with them. We want you to go out in the world, have these important conversations and find ways to do more and support more.
