Learn MorePooja Malhotra is a 33-year old former lecturer turned medical copywriter and community organizer, driven by a lifelong commitment to justice, compassion, and collective action. Born and raised in India, she moved to Canada in 2019, a place she now proudly calls home. As Wayne Potoroka once said, “Canadians are born all over the world; it just takes them some time to get home.”
Pooja grew up politically aware, marching alongside her mother in protests against corruption and inequality.
Before immigrating, Pooja earned degrees in Fashion Design and Costume Design for Performance in India and the UK, later teaching as a senior lecturer. Her studies introduced her to Indigenous design traditions, including those of the Coast Salish peoples, which inspired her to move to Canada.
During the pandemic, she worked on the vaccine rollout, supported Black Lives Matter, and deepened her understanding of Truth and Reconciliation. Following October 7, 2023, she helped organize actions with Toronto World Beyond War, Palestinian Youth Movement, and later with the Scarborough Southwest chapter of the 4Palestine riding groups, a growing grassroots collective focused on solidarity, community care, and local action.
Having witnessed the impacts of climate change firsthand, Pooja believes social, environmental, and human justice are deeply interconnected. She strives to build a politics rooted in courage, empathy, and truth, one that represents people, not power.
