It's genuinely great Sam supports the idea of raising the minimum wage to a living wage. I fully support it, but he's going to need to run for office, or bank roll a PAC to get candidates into office who can actually pass the legislation. Platitudes are cheap, political activism is expensive AF.
Wrt equity, unless mandated, you're either at a company that gives it out because they have no choice (traditionally, startups or tech firms) if they want to be competitive, or employee owned companies where owners/management see the value in being employee owned [1].
Start funding candidates who will commit to raising minimum wages, it's that (not easy, but) straightforward.
