Whitney Shepard is Co-Executive Director of Majority Action. Her work is shaped by a background in campaign strategy, organizing, and research, and by a belief that systems change through how people engage power collectively and strategically. At Majority Action, she helps lead system-level strategies advancing corporate and financial accountability, including research-driven investor campaigns on workers’ rights, climate risk, and emerging technologies. Whitney co-leads the Racial Justice Capital Strategies Table, which creates pathways for diverse stakeholder leaders to advance community-informed standards within corporate governance, and is also grateful for the opportunity to serve on the Advancing Worker Justice Leadership Team convened by Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility. 

Whitney has previously worked on local and national campaigns addressing food insecurity, public safety, mass incarceration, immigration reform, workers' rights, and Wall Street accountability. She advocates for making explicit the connection between economic and racial justice, examining how economic structures perpetuate racial harm and inequity that destabilize the social and economic foundations we all share. She believes this understanding unlocks us and allows us to collectively reimagine and act on what’s possible; transforming what no longer serves us into systems aligned with our humanity.
