Before you can bring a lawsuit, you are required to "exhaust all administrative remedies." That simply means you must file a charge with the EEOC within 300 days of the act complained of. You should also explore whatever internal complaint procedures exist at your employer.
I would be happy to discuss the process with you; please feel free to call me at (212) 973-0839 or email me directly.
