The Resistance Fair is a gathering of groups working every day to bring our values to life— protecting targeted communities, our environment, and our democracy. It’s now more important than ever to protect the people and institutions that actually make this country great!
WHEN: Saturday, February 21
WHERE: Cleveland Heights-University Heights High School Cafeteria 13263 Cedar Rd. Enter through Door 1 off the parking lot on the east side of the school. This can be accessed from Cedar Road or Washington Boulevard.
SPECIAL FEATURES at this year’s Resistance Fair:
Food: Heights High Vocal Music and Swim Cadets will have baked goods and coffee for sale.
Books: Hexagon Books and Mac’s Backs will provide books for sale relevant to our theme.
Kids: Lake Erie Ink will host family-friendly activities.
Action: Opportunities to take action will be provided including a postcard table to write your U.S. legislators. Postcards will be delivered in person.
Info about all host groups – websites, mission statements, volunteer opportunities – will be available to all attendees via a QR code and posted on the wall.
PARKING: The school is hosting several basketball games that day, so if parking is not available in the lot or near the school, you might park on Lee Road in the city garage, behind the Cedar Lee Theater or other nearby lots. We will have some volunteers there to help you unload your supplies.
SECURITY: In addition to the school’s security guards, we will have two metal detectors at Door 1. We recommend, if possible, that people not bring bags that must be run through the machines.
CHECK-IN PROCESS: To speed up getting attendees into the School as quickly as possible, we will have an expedited check-in for those who pre-register at www.clevelandheightsdems.com/resistance-fair-2026. Please encourage everyone to pre-register!
TABLES: Organizations that have pre-registered have assigned table numbers, in roughly alphabetical order by group names. The list of organizations and their table #s will be in the printed program every attendee will receive and will also be posted on the wall. The tables are 6 ft by 2 ft, so please plan accordingly. We will have at least 1 chair at each table, more if the school has enough. You are welcome to bring an additional chair if you wish.
