Angela Owens, who works in the health care industry, wipes tears from her eyes as she speaks to members of the media at a protest to push fast-food chains to pay their employees at least $15 an hour, Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014, outside a McDonald's restaurant in Philadelphia. The protest movement, which is backed financially by the Service Employees International Union and others, has gained national attention at a time when the wage gap between the poor and the rich has become a hot political issue.
