Reactively authenticating organization through ctx.auth

I'm using Convex with Clerk, and wanting to authenticate that the user is only querying data related to their active organization. I set up JWT to include the Clerk organization ID through an unused paramater ("language") which is a little hacky, but it works to get me the information. But what I noticed is that this is not reactive. If I use the organization switcher, identity.language does not update, so the query retains the information from the first organization. Any way around this, or better path to take? Thanks! Relevant code:

 const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();

    if (!identity) {
      return null;
    }
    
    const organization = await getOneFromOrThrow(
      ctx.db,
      "organizations",
      "by_clerkId",
      identity.language
    );
