“Not only is this a Cuba event, a Cuba thing – this is a world event,” Pérez said passionately. “This isn’t about politics, this is about saving lives. This is about unity, not division. And bottom line, this is about taking action.”

The decal on the car will have “Support Freedom” in both English and Spanish surrounding the flag.
