2:37Now Playingdemocracynow.org - An Occupy Wall Street organizer in Brooklyn gave birth to a baby Tuesday night in a scene caught on videotape by her husband, another Occupy Wall Street activist. Beka Economopoulos and Jason Jones were preparing to host an Occupy video meeting at their home in Brooklyn when Economopoulos began having contractions. They soon jumped into a taxi, but only made it two blocks before Economopoulos gave birth in the backseat. The cab driver got out of his car and waved orange flags directing traffic until two ambulances and six police cars arrived at the scene. Jones videotaped what happened next and posted it on YouTube under the channel name "Occupy Baby."
