The stockowners' responsibility is limited to the stock they own, and is not involved with management of the company except for stockholders' meetings where votes are taken on various issues including appointment of board directors and which auditors to hire and whether to issue more stock. To have a voice in the stockholders' meetings requires ownership of voting stock.
Selling your stock would be counterproductive in that it would remove any limited voice you might have in running the company.
