You may have protection under state and city laws but not under federal law. There is an election of remedies that is availabe to a complainant that may be best explained through the advice and counsel of an employment law attorney.
Re: termination from employment
There might be a possibility that this was a wrongful termination, however, more information is needed to determine if you can have a case against your employer, i.e. what was the official reason for termination? when were you terminated? do you have another job now? etc.
You should contact a lawyer as soon as possible as there might be some time limitations that you do not want to miss.
