Since moving to Tio'tià:ke, they have been involved in a variety of mutual aid and community organizing initiatives.

Activist in the environmental and student movement since 2019. I first became involved with Extinction Rebellion in climate justice mobilization and awareness, then as a civil disobedience and industrial climbing trainer. I was the mobilization and care coordinator of Last Generation Canada and am now a member of the Antigone collective. I took part in multiple high visibility actions such as the Valero and Jacques-Cartier bridge blockades in order to pursue social and climate goals.

Juhi Sohani is a communicator, digital organizer, and co-founder of Weaver and Imagining an Otherwise. She focuses on maximizing the collective impact of social movements across Canada by supporting campaigners to connect with real, politically persuadable people online and meet them on the ground. Juhi has facilitated narrative development and digital strategy at Amnesty International, the Canadian Federation of Students, and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami. The student movement led her to the climate movement and Palestine solidarity, where she continues to experiment with using digital tools to facilitate offline power-building. She collaborates with peers around the world at hope-based comms to help make the case for the world people want to see. She was named one of the Top 50 Women Leaders of Montreal for 2023 by Women We Admire, and has not been very admirable since. Juhi is grateful to have found home and connection on the unceded traditional territory of the Kanien'kehà:ka.
