The Worldwide LaRouche Youth Movement (WLYM or LYM) and the LaRouche Political Action Committee (LaRouche PAC or LPAC) are part of the political organization of controversial American political figure Lyndon LaRouche.[1] The LYM's "war room" is in Leesburg, Virginia, also the headquarters of LPAC.[2][3] The LaRouche Youth Movement describes itself as an international political movement of young adults, led by Lyndon LaRouche, who promote the revival of classical humanist thought, organize politically to establish a new world economic system based on the power of human creativity to increase the power of the human individual in relation to the universe, and fight for a physical economy which can promote the general welfare of humanity, to develop and move towards better living conditions.[4]
On February 24, 2021, Helga Zepp-LaRouche denounced the LaRouche Political Action Committee (LPAC) and its treasurer, Barbara Boyd, for going "in a direction which I consider contrary to the central policies that my husband stood for. ... [S]ince he passed away in February 2019, Mrs. Boyd and her associates ... have embarked on a path that I believe misrepresents both my and Mr. LaRouche's positions", and has stated that LPAC and Boyd do not represent the LaRouche movement. She has taken legal action against LPAC to “immediately cease and desist, both now and in the future" from "using Mr. LaRouche’s name, likeness, and potentially other confusingly similar terms."[5]
