tribune
Plebeian voice, anciently
A tribune is a raised platform from which someone speaks to an audience, or a champion of the people's rights.
The platform sense comes from ancient Roman tribunes—elected officials who represented common citizens against the powerful.
A newspaper called The Tribune positions itself as speaking for ordinary people.
Someone described as a tribune of the working class advocates publicly for their interests.
