Corporations are made up of people, and people can influence the actions of the corporation, if they try.

Yeah good luck with that. The founding principal and mission of a corporation is to make money at all costs. Being "Good" will always come second to making money, the individuals who make it up are powerless to stop it.

Do you have a source for this? As far as I know the purpose of corporations is to shield owners from losses and not a whole lot beyond that.

The best way to shield owners is to not form a business in the first place.

That's even worse. You, the individual, will just have all the liabilities.

I've effected positive change in the companies I've worked with in the past, so I guess I know firsthand of anecdotal counter-arguments.

It doesn't matter what corporations are made of, they are their own different thing operating in a different context and according to other rules.
It doesn't matter if it's made of people or ants.

They're made out of people subservient to the owners, whether that's a rich dude or a bunch of shareholders largely shielded from the day to day operations and who just want their stocks to go up a little more. Google is THE poster child of a company whose employees rebelled, even unionized, but who still don't really have much power.
It's a huge advertising company trying to make more money, not a scrappy search tech startup in a garage...
