From 3 pm until 6 pm (Eastern) today, elected officials, Obama transition team members Melody Barnes and Valerie Jarrett, and faith-based community organizing leaders will hold a live webcast panel discussion called Realizing The Promise: A Forum on Community, Faith and Democracy. It's co-sponsored by the Center for Community Change and the Gamaliel Foundation and will provide one of the faith community's earliest exchanges with the incoming administration. From the forum's web site:

The forum will bring more than 2,000 community leaders, faith leaders and community organizers together in Washington, DC for an open dialogue with members of Congress and members of the incoming president's administration about why Community Values, faith and democracy matter, and how these values and beliefs are going to change the tenor and climate of American politics.

The forum features three moderated roundtable discussions, designed to provide a setting for real dialogue with real people from across the country about the real issues our communities face, and the real values that are essential to putting our country back on the right track.
