proclaiming
Making something known
Proclaiming is announcing something publicly and with emphasis.
A president proclaims a national holiday.
A protester proclaims injustice.
The word carries a sense of formality or declaration: He stood on the corner proclaiming the end of the world.
To proclaim is to make known loudly or officially, often with conviction.
