democratizer
Levels the field
A democratizer is a person or thing that makes something accessible to a broader population.
The term often describes technologies, policies, or movements that break down barriers previously limiting access to the privileged few: The smartphone was a democratizer of information.
Someone who actively spreads democratic political systems may also be called a democratizer.
