Take the Mic was created to give young people opportunities to speak, be heard, and inspire action.
This limited-edition Avalon 2026 shirt commemorates The Ocean Is Listening, a youth-centered ocean event bringing students, community members, and environmental organizations together in Avalon, California.
Take the Mic: Avalon 2026 is presented by Healthy Footprints Adventure Community in collaboration with the City of Avalon, Catalina Island Conservancy, Bleu World, and the NAC Ocean Club.
Proceeds from this campaign support future Take the Mic events, creating more opportunities for young people to share their voices, speak about what matters to them, and inspire others to care and take action.
Wear it proudly, knowing your support is helping youth voices reach farther.

About the artwork:
Take the Mic began with the idea that one voice can create a ripple, and that those ripples can reach far beyond where they begin.
We developed the concept and invited artist Carly Lake to bring it to life by hand. We wanted the artwork to feel human and organic...because the work itself is about connection...connection to one another, to the ocean, and to the natural world.
Carly generously donated her time and talent because she believes in supporting young people and helping their voices be heard. She hand-painted both the Take the Mic mark and The Ocean Is Listening artwork featured on this shirt.
Thank you, Carly, for taking our idea and bringing it to life by hand. It feels exactly right for what Take the Mic is about.
