What We Do
The mission of PAVES is to, through outreach and awareness campaigns, ensure that polysexual individuals know they are not forgotten and are never alone.
Visibility
Even within the LGBTQ community bisexuals can be pretty invisible. PAVES is working to change that. For example, we created a bi+ float for Pride and marched together in the parade. We also craft together to make visibility bracelets, hats, and etc.
Education
PAVES is reaching out to both the straight and LGBTQ+ community to help educate others on bisexuality+ as well as creating resources about bisexuality+.
Support
PAVES holds social events so that the bisexual+ community can come together and support each other.
Meet the Board
Codi Coday
President
Pronouns: She, Her, Hers
Codi has been bisexual since, well forever (duh) and realized so in Houston, TX at 18 where she is originally from. Codi moved to Denver in 2013 largely in part to escape the intolerance for all LGBTQ+ in the Bible belt and is happy to call Denver her new home. The hatred, abuse, and erasure she has experienced in the past, with an absence of support, just for being bisexual fueled her passion to start PAVES so that other bisexual people don’t have to go through what she did or worse. Codi studied Biology and Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Denver and now speaks and writes about intersectional feminism, ethical nonmonogamy, sexuality, gender, jealousy, sex education, and living with a chronic illness. In her free time she organizes a large social polyamorous group in Denver, loves to camp, and attempts to paint. She also enjoys binging on television and movies, and spends a lot of time yelling at ridiculous depictions of love triangles and bisexuals who just “don’t want a label” (looking at you Piper Chapman). Feel free to connect with her below.
Imogen Katzchen
Vice President
Pronouns: She, Her, Hers
Imogen’s bio is incoming
Adam Witt
Treasurer
Pronouns: He, Him, His
Adam was raised in the Denver area and has lived there nearly his entire life. He’s into digital media, very bad puns, connecting with people around him, and spends a lot of time thinking about the perspectives of people different from him.
Adam is attracted to non-binary people as well as women, and identifies as bisexual. With PAVES he is the treasurer, but also enjoys hosting community events and helping design PAVES promotional materials.
