Anti-AI Data Center Protests Unite Unlikely Coalition Across 37 States
On a day of hazardous air quality and flooding in Kenilworth, New Jersey, protesters gathered outside borough hall chanting 'We want water, not AI' as part of a National Day of Action against AI data centers. The demonstrations, organized by the right-wing nonprofit Humans First led by MAGA firebrand Amy Kremer, targeted 120 construction projects across 37 states, including sites in Alaska and Texas. The article notes the unusual cross-ideological nature of the protests, blending elements of the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street movements. Activists expressed frustration with the technopolitical establishment, with one protester stating 'Everybody is starting to revolt.' The coalition's political identity puzzled media observers, as it defied typical left-right categorization, suggesting a potential new grassroots movement centered on opposition to billionaire-driven AI infrastructure at the expense of human needs like water.
