In Episode 296 of Derate The Hate, Wilk Wilkinson is joined by Malka Kopell and Palma Joy Strand, co-founders of Civity, for a deeply human conversation about rebuilding trust, strengthening communities, and rediscovering our civic muscle.
At a time when institutional trust is declining and polarization feels overwhelming, Malka and Palma share why relationships — not arguments — are the true foundation of social change.
Together, they explore:
• Why storytelling builds trust across difference
• How listening can be a courageous civic act
• What “the conversation before the conversation” really means
• Simple, everyday actions that restore agency and belonging
This episode is a reminder that small human moments — when multiplied — can change the culture around us.
