Hollywood Volunteers Transform Neighborhood for Earth Day: Butterflies Respond Immediately to New Gardens
LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 29, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In a remarkable display of environmental stewardship, volunteers ranging from age 9 to 72 transformed parts of Hollywood this past weekend through a comprehensive Earth Day initiative inspired by the precept 'Safeguard and Improve Your Environment' from L. Ron Hubbard's common-sense guide, 'The Way to Happiness,' the Church of Scientology International announced today.
The Hollywood Neighborhood Cleanup team implemented a unique three-pronged approach that went beyond typical Earth Day activities. Volunteers not only collected 50-gallon bags of trash from local streets but also restored a vandalized wildlife mural at Bronson Avenue and Carlos Street, returning the public artwork celebrating California's native species to its original beauty.
Perhaps most striking was the creation of two butterfly gardens that showed immediate results. 'Within minutes of planting our first garden, we witnessed both cabbage white and skipjack butterflies arrive and land on the new plants,' said Rob Hoover, a local Scientologist who led the butterfly garden initiative. 'It was as if nature was thanking us in real time.'
The second butterfly garden was planted at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre, featuring flowers near the waterfalls along with berry bushes and beneficial ladybugs to support the ecosystem.
Hoover, who has established several butterfly gardens throughout Hollywood, also created an interactive 8-foot photo wall featuring monarch butterfly wings that allows visitors to appear as if they have wings themselves, with the message 'Help take care of the planet' prominently displayed.
Throughout the day, volunteers distributed hundreds of copies of The Way to Happiness to neighborhood residents, sharing the practical environmental wisdom contained in the booklet.
'This Earth Day initiative demonstrates how simple, coordinated community action can make an immediate visible difference,' said a spokesperson for the Hollywood Neighborhood Cleanup team. 'When people come together guided by the principle to safeguard and improve their environment, transformation happens quickly.'

Cayden – The Virtual Artist Reimagining Emotional Pop, Drops Debut Single ‘Esperanza'
LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 29, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Meet Cayden: not just the future of pop music, but a voice from another world literally. Hailing from a richly imagined parallel universe, Cayden makes his debut on Earth with the release of 'Esperanza,' an emotionally charged single that blends cinematic pop production with an urgent call for compassion, Sixth P Media announced today. Rooted in Latin-inspired melodies and moody, atmospheric soundscapes, 'Esperanza' channels the heartbreak of separation experienced by displaced families. Cayden's vocal performance carries themes of loss, longing, and quiet resilience—inviting listeners into a story that feels both otherworldly and deeply human. But Cayden isn't just here to sing—he's here to spark change. The single anchors a 12-week social impact campaign on TikTok and Instagram, rallying creators, musicians, and nonprofits to amplify stories of survival, hope, and justice. From mass deportations to mental health and climate displacement, the campaign uses storytelling to illuminate shared struggles and inspire collective healing. Hashtags like #CaydenEsperanza and #HumanNotIllegal will serve as digital threads connecting thousands of user-generated stories around hope. More than a virtual performer, Cayden represents a new kind of artist one who crosses dimensions and emotional boundaries alike. His voice, enhanced with advanced technology and grounded in live vocal performances, underscores the project's commitment to emotional authenticity. The result? A character who may be virtual, but whose message is undeniably real. ABOUT THE SONG: 'ESPERANZA' 'Esperanza' – Spanish for hope – is an emotive anthem about separation, survival, and the strength to hold on. From its first haunting note, Cayden's performance channels the heartache of marginalized communities around the world, offering not just recognition, but resonance. A WORD FROM THE CREATORS 'Cayden isn't just about cutting-edge animation,' says co-creator Elizabeth Daro. 'He's an artist who travels between worlds—real and imagined—to give voice to stories that often go unheard. His mission has always been emotional connection.' 'Esperanza' is now streaming on all major platforms. Join the movement.

Peanut the Squirrel: MAGA's Cutest Martyr Immortalized in Statue in NYC Art Exhibit
NEW YORK, N.Y., May 28, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — A movement's beloved squirrel is being unveiled as a heroic MAGA icon in New York's Chelsea gallery district. In 'Opposing Visions: The Trump Era in Art,' Peanut the Squirrel is memorialized in a gruesome form as a tiny martyr alongside political titans Elon Musk, RFK Jr., and President Donald Trump, ready to do their bidding for a fantastical third-term campaign, the Iconoclast Room announced today. Peanut's story began in 2024, when city officials euthanized a squirrel suspected of rabies. What could have been a fleeting public health incident was transformed by MAGA outrage and a viral post by Elon Musk into a right-wing folk tale of 'government overreach.' In 'Opposing Visions,' a MAGA-hat-clad Peanut reappears at the base of Daniel Edwards's ' Project 29: The MAGAnaut ' – a towering, grotesque cyborg hybrid of Trump, Musk, and RFK Jr. Here, Peanut haunts the exhibit in a kind of afterlife, clawing for relevance from beyond the grave. 'Peanut is back to exact revenge on the liberal government that killed him,' Post-Internet artist XVALA says. 'He's the spirit of the culture war—scrappy, and unwilling to stay dead.' XVALA's own contribution is a gold-plated bronze MAGA hat designed for ceremonial display atop the Resolute Desk, offering a reverent counterpoint to Edwards's dystopian satire. Where Edwards skewers Trump's persistence with a grotesque vision of biotech-fueled power, XVALA treats the MAGA movement as revolutionary heritage. This tension between dark satire and genuine veneration animates the volatile heart of Opposing Visions. Alongside Edwards and XVALA, Jarva Land's stark pen-and-ink courtroom sketches of Trump's ongoing legal battles add a sobering counterpoint – a reminder of the real-world consequences behind the pageantry. WHEN AND WHERE: Experience 'Opposing Visions: The Trump Era in Art' at the Iconoclast Room, located in the West Chelsea Building at 526 W 26th Street, Room 511, New York, NY. The exhibition runs from May 27–31, 2025. There will be a press opportunity on Thursday and Friday mornings, an art gallery walk on Thursday evening, and an Artists' Reception on Friday evening from 5 to 8 p.m. ET.
