Hello, 

My name is Rae. I've become aware of an issue that I feel all Wisconsin residents should be aware of; an upcoming show for "comedian" Bert Kreischer at Oshkosh Arena on 03/12/2026. Bert has a podcast called 2' Bears, 1 Cave'. On a recent episode of this podcast, Kreischer & co-host Segura make "jokes" about how they become aroused while holding their infant children/watching others hold their children. 

As a survivor of childhood sexual assault, I understand the deep and lasting impact such a crime can have on a person's life. My journey has led me to passionately advocate for the safety and protection of children everywhere, ensuring they have the opportunity to grow up in an environment free from fear and harm. It is with this mission in mind that I urge you to take a stand against allowing Bert Kreischer to perform at the Oshkosh Arena.

Bert Kreischer, who has been publicly associated with reprehensible allegations, should not be granted a stage in our community, a place where residents of Oshkosh and Wisconsin come together to enjoy entertainment safely. The presence of someone accused of such heinous behavior contradicts our community's values and undermines the commitment to protect our children and loved ones.

As you can tell, these are serious allegations against Bert Kreischer that should be thoroughly investigated and given substantial weight rather than ignored. By allowing him a platform, we risk implicitly condoning actions that jeopardize the safety and well-being of our children who are the future of our community.

It's crucial for us to model an environment where we hold individuals accountable and set examples of ethical behavior. Providing a platform to someone with significant allegations related to child endangerment only emboldens harmful behaviors and disrespects survivors' lived experiences.

The Oshkosh Arena holds a prestigious reputation as a hub of entertainment and culture for residents and visitors alike. Let us protect that reputation and send a clear message that our community stands unwavering against any form of abuse.

Please join in advocating for the safety of our children and ensuring that our community remains a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. Stand with me in asking the Oshkosh Arena to reconsider their decision and insist that individuals who face such serious allegations do not represent our shared values.

I have created the below petition to demand that Oshkosh Arena cancels the scheduled performance of Bert Kreischer until such accusations are thoroughly addressed and resolved. Together, let's take action to make our community a bastion of safety, supporting survivors and prioritizing the well-being of all children.

Please sign and help me to do what is right and get this information out to Wisconsin residents who may be unknowingly supporting these men and their platform. 

Thank you, 

Rae
