Join us on the Jack Hopkins Show as we welcome Pat Hicks, an extraordinary volunteer who turned a sense of political powerlessness into a driving force for change.

We dive into his journey with the Dallas County Democrats, detailing the grassroots movement that has brought together community members and political candidates in a way that’s both impactful and inspiring.
In this episode, Pat also discusses the urgent necessity educating people about Project 2025, with an educational campaign designed to boost voter participation and awareness. We explore the historical context of American democracy and the existential threats it faces today, drawing comparisons to pivotal moments in U.S. history. Learn about the strategic marketing initiatives, including the clever use of the domain NoProject2025.Vote and a campaign that Pat thought of and then acted on immediately. As the conversation unfolds, Pat's passion and commitment become evident, reinforcing the critical role of grassroots activism in combating the rise of authoritarianism.
