Following the [2021 Myanmar coup d'état](/wiki/2021_Myanmar_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat "2021 Myanmar coup d'état"), May Zune Win was active in the anti\-coup movement both in person at rallies and through social media. Denouncing the military coup, she has taken part in protests since February. She joined the "We Want Justice" [three\-finger salute](/wiki/Three-finger_salute_%28pro-democracy%29 "Three-finger salute (pro-democracy)") movement. The movement was launched on social media, and many celebrities have joined the movement. On 2 April 2021, warrants for her arrest were issued under section 505 (a) of the [Myanmar Penal Code](/wiki/Myanmar_Penal_Code "Myanmar Penal Code") by the [State Administration Council](/wiki/State_Administration_Council "State Administration Council") for speaking out against the military coup. Along with several other celebrities, she was charged with calling for participation in the [Civil Disobedience Movement](/wiki/Civil_Disobedience_Movement "Civil Disobedience Movement") (CDM) and damaging the state's ability to govern, with supporting the [Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw](/wiki/Committee_Representing_Pyidaungsu_Hluttaw "Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw"), and with generally inciting the people to disturb the peace and stability of the nation.

She eventually fled to the United States as a political refugee. On 17 February 2022, her homes and business property were confiscated by the military council.
