Community supporters ready truck load for Dakota Access protest
Shine Adams and three coworkers plan to haul snow melt propane heaters and gear to North Dakota protest camps from Cottin's Hardware. Adams funds roughly $1,000 in supplies and about $200 in gas, saying land rights and trespass issues motivate the effort. The group includes Lawrence Community Shelter staff and Sun Cedar founder Adams, who has a history of aid work and bankruptcy. Gifts have been donated online and at Cottin's Hardware, with about 500 pounds of snow melt and propane prepared for transport.
