How can I send a message to every server the bot is in with python discord

I would like it so that when I type a command and a message it will forward that message to a channel in every server the bot is connected to with python discord. I know how to get the message and look for the command but I do not know how to find a channel the bot can post in, in every server and then send it.

Could anyone help me?

UPDATE to patrick's code:

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def broadcast(ctx, *, msg):
    for server in bot.guilds:
        for channel in server.text_channels:
            try:
                await channel.send(msg)
            except Exception:
                continue
            else:
                break

Changes: Servers Are Now Called Guilds, we need to use the send method of channel class , also we want to use only text_channels.

The servers object of your Client is an iterable of Server objects the bot is part of, and each Server contains a channels iterable you can use to get the channels you can post in.

client = discord.Client()
await client.wait_until_ready()
channels = []
for server in client.servers:
  for channel in server.channels:
     channels.append(channel)
     # If you have your discord.Message object (message) and
     # command you want to send (command_str) you could then:
     # await client.send_message(message.channel, command_str)
# channels will now be populated with all the possible channels

You can loop through all the servers the bot can see, then loop through their channels until you find one you can send messages to. 

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def broadcast(ctx, *, msg):
    for server in bot.servers:
        for channel in server.channels:
            try:
                await bot.send_message(channel, msg)
            except Exception:
                continue
            else:
                break
