Got fired for saying, “We all deserve a living wage.”

Pretty self explanatory. My exact quote on MS Teams was, “If anyone else is not satisfied with their current wages or working conditions, please send me a message. Don’t let upper management tell you it’s not in the budget. We all deserve a living wage.” Got a call from HR this morning citing a zero tolerance policy for my comment as grounds for termination. I already discussed forming a union with some coworkers, but was let go before I could start getting signatures. I was unable to afford rent while working full time and will likely be evicted now. I have been reaching out to lawyers to take my case on contingency. Are there any other resources I should look into?
