Our voices have power. NIKE has contractually provided maternal protection to the female athletes they sponsor. I’m grateful to NIKE leadership for believing that we are all more than athletes. THANK YOU to the brands who have already made this commitment. Who is next?

How it spread

Trace the origin

Nike launched the film through athletes' posts and an Oscars placement. Viewers shared it and Ellen made a parody. Athletes later turned its equality message against Nike's maternity-pay policies, which the company changed.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak.
