The Derry community group , Cost of Living Crisis Campaign, has called on the community to support a rally and march organised by Derry Trades Union Council. 
The event is taking place tomorrow (Saturday, February 25)  at 12:30pm in Guildhall Square, Derry.
Cost of Living Crisis Campaign (COLCC) said people should bring, whistles, drums and guitars, as well as pots and pans, to make some noise.

Quoting Martin Luther King Jr, COLCC spokesperson, Ellen Moore said that "The time is always right to do what is right."
She added: "The Union movement has been leading the charge in fighting corporate greed and we need every able-bodied person to step forward and join the fight."
Due to her battle against cancer, Ellen said she knew the importance of this campaign.
She said: "I feel like I have to fight back against all this poverty. Even when I'm tired, or sick, or sore, I think I have to fight back because there are so many people who aren't doing anything yet.
"I think I'll to help to hold the line until everyone else stands up to help but, I might still keep going then too. We all have a part to play in creating a better future for ourselves and our community.
"High living costs are making it difficult for our people to make ends meet, our healthcare system is under threat, and workers are fighting for their rights. But we cannot let these challenges demoralise us.
"Join us this Saturday, and let's rally together under one common cause. The working class community is strong, we are united, and we will make a real difference."
