Yes, you can sue your employer for discrimination if what they did to you was unlawful. Unlawful discrimination takes many forms. It could be based off of your age, your race, your gender, whether you were pregnant, whether your familial status, your national origin, or your color, and many other things as well.
The way that a case starts is by filing a claim against the EEOC, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or in California, it will be the California Civil Rights Department. In order to start a claim, there's strict deadlines. So, make sure you talk to an attorney to make sure you're not missing any deadlines.
