proclaim
State for all
To proclaim is to announce publicly or declare openly, usually with some formality or authority: The governor proclaimed a state of emergency.
It suggests broadcasting rather than quiet statement—you proclaim victory, innocence, or a new policy.
Something that proclaims a quality displays it unmistakably: His accent proclaimed his origins.
