Tea Party founder launches nationwide 'Data Center Revolt' against AI data center expansion
2026-08-21
[FOX] A founder of the Tea Party movement is heading a new nationwide campaign against AI data center expansion, arguing that tech corporations are encroaching on local communities and forcing residents to pay for the infrastructure against their will.

Amy Kremer, chairwoman of Humans First, said the nationwide bus tour, dubbed the "Data Center Revolt," will launch Sept. 12 in Austin, Texas, which she called the "battleground of the data center opposition movement." The tour will travel across the South and up the East Coast, stopping in Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia before concluding in California's Silicon Valley.

Kremer, a veteran conservative organizer and Georgia Republican Party leader, told Fox News Digital she sees parallels between the anti-data center push and the early days of the Tea Party movement.

"The reason we're doing this tour is because we have seen over the past couple of years that Big Tech is trying to shove their technology, their AI technology, down our throats," Kremer told Fox News Digital. "The American people are very upset over the technology and the buildout. And so that's why we're doing this tour, to give people a voice, to stand with them and support them as they battle this in their local communities. And that's exactly what we did with the Tea Party movement."
