On the heels of its transition to a new, nonprofit-owned governance structure, Change.org has tapped a former in-house leader for the foundation behind Wikipedia to serve as general counsel of the San Francisco-based tech platform for social change.

Tony Sebro is now responsible for protecting and enforcing the rights of about 500 million people worldwide who use Change.org to post and sign petitions for an array of societal, political and charitable causes. Examples of recent petitions include an effort to stop the execution of Oklahoma death row inmate Julius Jones and a campaign to let Marines have sleeve tattoos. Both were successful.
