Olympic weightlifter Sarah Robles is literally the strongest woman in America, but she is barely getting by — she lives on $400 a month — because she doesn’t have the backing of a major company.

Nike recently launched their “Voices” campaign, which honors great female athletes — women who run, box and play basketball. Why not a woman who lifts weights?

Tell Nike to step up — give Sarah a living wage, and give girls all different types of role models to look up to.

Tell them to sponsor Sarah Robles.
