Hicks is also a part of the 9/11 Truth Movement and sought to be elected as United States Senator from New York in the 2006 election as a member of the Green Party, running against incumbent Hillary Clinton. However, he lost the Green Party nominating convention to Howie Hawkins. He is now supporting the Hawkins campaign and has taken a position as Hawkins' media director.

Horns and Halos (2002), an award-winning documentary film directed by Suki Hawley and Michael Galinsky, is primarily about the difficult road the author (James Hatfield) and publisher (Sander Hicks at Soft Skull Press) travelled to bring "Fortunate Son", an unauthorized and controversial biography of George W. Bush to bookshelves again.
In 2004 Hicks launched his new publishing venture Vox Pop/Drench Kiss Media Corporation: a publishing company, bookstore and coffee-house located in Brooklyn, NY.
