YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Status Coup producer Michelle Dao reports from Michigan State University on April 7, 2026, as part of our “War Against Us” reporting trip, where students spoke out about crushing debt, economic uncertainty, and a system they say isn’t working for them. The rally featured Abdul El-Sayed and Hasan Piker, with students expressing support for candidates rejecting corporate influence and questioning why there’s money for war but not for people at home. Michelle also shares her own experience with student debt and sacrifice, adding to a broader conversation about affordability, opportunity, and what students say needs to change.
