Clinton Parker is working to grow the cooperative movement into many more sectors than just grocery stores and housing. Parker is a transplant to Buffalo from Westfield, N.Y. after studying medical anthropology at Buffalo State College. He has lived at the Nickel City Housing Coop for 4-plus years and has sat on the boards of local and national cooperatives. When he's not advocating, he bakes quite a sourdough.
