The true founder of the Occupy Wall Street movement was David Graeber, and he sadly passed away years ago.

that's not factually correct. New Yorker explains the actual origins of Occupy: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/11/28/pre-occupied

David did a good job claiming credit for creating Occupy, but he was actually just one of many activists who initially heard the idea from Adbusters. In fact, I am the one who first told David about the idea and asked him to attend an early organizing meeting.
