These ads are reaching Cuban American voters in South Florida on Facebook, Instagram and more.

The Democratic National Committee is launching a new ad to showcase President Joe Biden’s support for Cuban liberty.
The ads will be distributed in a digital campaign provided in both English and Spanish, and will highlight “Biden’s commitment to the Cuban people and condemnation of communism as a failed system,” according to a news release.
“President Biden has been incredibly clear: the Cuban people are crying out for freedom and the United States will continue to stand with them and hold Cuban officials accountable for their abuse of basic human rights,” DNC Chair Jaime Harrison said in a statement. “The DNC is committed to using our resources to speak directly to the Cuban community in South Florida to make sure they know that President Biden and Democrats have their back.”
