  According to [whois here](https://www.whois.com/whois/jerseylawcommission.org), your domain is in redemption period.

  You can learn what happen when a domain is in redemption here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-expiration/#redemption-period

  Hi there!

  Your domain jerseylawcommission.org expired on 2022-07-14 and is currently in the redemption period:

  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-expiration/#redemption-period

  We can still try to recover the domain but you will need to pay an $80 redemption fee in addition to the regular $18 domain renewal cost. If you agree, I can send a payment request and contact our domain registrar once it has been paid.

  Thanks!

  Hi there,
  We are a nonprofit with no assets and can’t afford an extra $80, unfortunately.

  We are a nonprofit with no assets and can’t afford an extra $80, unfortunately.

  WordPress.com does not set this fee, the domain registrar does and the fee cannot be waived.

  If you’re not able to pay the redemption fee, then you would need to wait for the domain to be released back into the domain marketplace. Unfortunately, we don’t have any details on when that would happen nor are we notified when it is released so you would need to keep checking domain registries to see when it’s available again for purchase.

  In the meantime, your site content can still be found at jerseylawcommission.wordpress.com.

  Let us know if you still want to recover the domain and we can get that sent over.
